You can taste the Mexican accents in colorful soup

“It’s light but satisfying, fabulously flavorful and not at all fussy. Cocido — a meal in a bowl with a Mexican accent and Spanish antecedents — is made with beef shank and seasonal fresh vegetables, and served with Mexican rice and spicy salsa.

This colorful soup is served all over Mexico, sometimes as caldo de res (caldo means broth and res is beef). In California, most Mexican restaurants serve it as cocido, derived from the Spanish word cocer, meaning to cook or to simmer over low heat.”
