Caldo de Res (Beef Soup)
One of the Filipino soups that is so comforting and a childhood favorite is called Nilaga. It's also a very similar soup in Mexican Cuisine called Caldo de Res.
I make this recipe with beef shanks which has bones and bone marrow which makes this soup rich in flavor. This recipe is very simple with garden vegetables like cabbage, potatoes, carrots, green beans and a couple jalapenos. This is recipe you have to try!
