Instructions
- 1 Gather all ingredients.
- 2 Cut the meat from the beef bones into about ½-inch pieces, leaving some on the bones.
- 3 Heat a heavy soup pot over medium-high heat until very hot. Add oil, tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Add meat and bones and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until thoroughly browned.
- 4 Add onion and cook until lightly browned; stir in broth and tomatoes. The liquid should cover the bones by ½ inch. If not, add some water to compensate.
- 5 Reduce heat to low; simmer with the lid on loosely until meat is tender, about 1 hour.
- 6 Pour in 4 cups water, and return to a simmer. Add carrots and 1/4 cup cilantro, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in chayote, corn, and potato; simmer until vegetables are tender. Push cabbage wedges into soup; cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
- 7 Ladle soup into large bowls, including some meat, vegetables, and bones.
- 8 Garnish with cilantro, jalapeños, and minced onion. Squeeze lime juice over soup and serve with radishes. Enjoy!
