Episode 1 | Caldo de Costilla — Colombian Comfort in a Bowl

Caldo de Costilla (Colombian Beef Short Rib Soup, my way) This is your sign to make Caldo de Costilla — the ultimate Colombian comfort soup. Tender beef short ribs, potatoes, corn, fresh cilantro, and a rich, cozy broth that heals the soul 😮‍💨 Feeds 2–4 people Ingredients: • 2 lbs beef short rib • 4 cups water (plus more if needed) • Salt & pepper • 1 bunch cilantro • 4 green onion stocks • 1 white onion • 4 garlic cloves • 2–3 potatoes (can be russet or whatever type you like) • (Optional) 2 carrots • (Optional) 2 corn cobs • (Optional) 1-2 limes Preparation: 1️⃣ Prep your veggies • Separate white & green parts of green onion • Dice white onion + white green onion (set aside in a bowl together) • Cut carrots into 2-inch rounds • Cut corn in halves or thirds • Rough chop cilantro (separate stems) • Squish garlic cloves • Peel & cube potatoes (1-inch pieces) • Cut lime into quarters 2️⃣ Season the meat Season short ribs with salt & pepper 30 minutes before cooking for max flavor. 3️⃣ Pressure cook Add short ribs to crock pot/pressure cooker. Cover with water, then add garlic, cilantro stems, and green onion tops. (Tie herbs with twine if you can — easier cleanup!) Seal valve and pressure cook for 45 minutes. 4️⃣ Build the soup Once cooked, remove and discard herbs. Add 1–2 more cups of water if needed. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. 5️⃣ Add veggies Add potatoes, corn, carrots, and half of the onion/cilantro mix. Season with salt to taste and simmer 15 minutes, until veggies, potatoes, and corn are tender. (Optional: skim fat from the top for a clearer broth) 6️⃣ Serve & enjoy Serve hot with beef rib, corn, fresh cilantro/onion mix, and a squeeze of lime. ⏱️ Cozy. Traditional.
