    You’re correct James. It’s definitely a busy recipe but it looks fantastic.
    I’ve never seen or heard of the fruit (or vegetable) you put in it though.
    Interesting. Top notch as always.

    Great recipe James, but a couple of tips. First start with enough water. If
    you do have to add more. Make sure to add boiling water, so as not to lose
    your heat in the pot. And instead of using bottled hot sauce to spice it up
    a little, mix a couple of green serrano peppers with your cilantro as well
    as a little raw onions. Great job.

    My favorite soup this time of the year, for more color and flavor add a can
    or a few fresh peeled tomatoes

    All in all good soup!

    to take out the fat was creative, but I like the real mexican style with
    chamorro de res I’m Mexican from Mexico.

    HEY MEN EVERITHING LOOKS GOOD I JUST LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU LET
    THE CHAYOTE SEED WILL BE BETTER.

    AND IF YOU PUT SOME SILANTRO IT WILL BE ALSO.

    YOU ILL SEE WATH A REAL MEXICAN CALDO IS.

  7. Marisol Ochoa

    What about if I put pork is gonna taste the same ?? 

  8. Extrememdp

    looks so so amazing. I like that you took the fat off the top. That’s
    what they do in the culinary industry to keep the broth clear.

  9. Mark Garcia

    Looks awesome! Leave out the cilantro! YUCK!!! BLACHHH!!!

    two day process lol

    Great Job Mr Strange!….. That seems tough to refrigerate over night like
    that and not have a Taste…. I love Soup or Caldo. But as your self I
    Rather make it myself. because i don’t like the greasy ness. you get when
    eating out.

    Can I have that other pot of soup? Your soup base looked crystal clear
    James. It does take time, but in the end, I think it is well worth the
    effort in creating an excellent soup. Well done my friend!!!

    How much was 1 pack of those short ribs. Here they’re so expensive. At the
    Korean store there a little cheaper but they’re so fatty there. :/
