My wife made gumbo once and put cilantro in it. She thought the cilantro was parsley. We had "Mexican Gumbo". It was good. You could turn most any soup into a Mexican soup by just adding cilantro. :light:

"Cocida" is a standard dish all over Mexico and Central America. It's also commonly called "Caldo de Res", or just "Caldo". Every region has its variations of it. In El Salvador they put in chayotes, yuca and plantains. It's really good when made with ox tails for the meat.

Thanks for the info.

I love to discover new things about indigenous cuisines.

I have read that really good "pho", the Vietnamese soup, uses oxtails simmered for eighteen hours or more to create the best well-flavored broth.

thanks for the other recipe GJ,
The weekend is coming up, my time to try new things...

These both sound delicious, and as a friend told me this morning she had 24F at her house this morning, soup season is on!

We've been around 32-35F in the mornings. It's pretty cool to see sprinklers still on and everything the sprinkler hits gets coated in ice, only to thaw out a couple hours later. No harm done, unless it's in the garden!:lol:

Anyway, time for the comfort food recipes!
