For a richer flavor, brown the beef shank in the pot before adding the other ingredients. This adds depth and complexity to the broth. Feel free to customize the vegetables according to your preference. Corn on the cob, green beans, zucchini, or chayote squash are all delicious additions. If you prefer a clearer broth, you can skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during simmering. For a vegetarian version, omit the beef shank and add vegetable broth instead of water. You can also add a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas for extra protein. Caldo de Res is even more flavorful the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together.
