Crock-Pot Mexican Beef & Veggie Soup

Pick up the Caldo Soup Mix from your local grocer & make a delicious Crock-Pot Mexican Beef & Veggie Soup with your fresh vegetables.

Crock-Pot Mexican Beef & Veggie Soup

Slow Cooker Mexican Beef & Veggie Soup

So walking through the produce department of the grocery store I came upon this…

Caldo Soup Mix In Package At Grocery Store

I was intrigues because I had never seen it before. I didn’t know what the Caldo Soup Mix was. But, knowing how good soup is when made in the slow cooker I figured I could figure it out when I got home.

After unpacking my groceries I popped on the computer and started Googling to learn exactly what Caldo Soup was and what I learned is this:

“Caldo” simply means “both” in Spanish and when it is made with beef the soup is called “Caldo de Res” or beef broth.

However Caldo de Res is more than plain beef broth. Nope, instead it is a yummy soup that is filled with carrots, cabbage, squash and potatoes.

This is “peasant” food at it’s finest. And my peasant food I simply mean the food of the people. Food that is typically a tasty, hearty way to take inexpensive ingredients and turn them into something wonderful.

My kind of food!

If you can find a package of Caldo Soup Mix in your grocery stores butcher department go ahead and pick one up. If your store does not carry this item, have no fear this recipe lists out the ingredients you need to make a delicious and hearty soup!

    Hi Sarah love this version of caldo cooking. I would never have thought of using my crock pot! But out of curiosity what was the vegetable that was in the package that was fed to the neighbor’s roosters? Thanks!

      I honestly can’t remember, but the comments on facebook are saying it’s probably a chayote.

    I’m trying this recipe for the first time. However, I don’t have everything so I’m only using the meat, broth, carrots, cabbage, salt, and pepper. If I have room in about an hour I will put the potatoes. Here’s to a good meal…:D

    Is it only beef broth and not water you use? And do you have to cook the meat before putting in crock pot? Im gonna try to make this today.

      Hi Julie, it is just beef broth, no added water and you do not need to cook the meat before it goes in the slow cooker.
