Caldo de Verduras, or Mexican vegetable soup, is a hearty dish made from a blend of fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients. This traditional recipe often includes zucchini, carrots, potatoes, celery, green beans, and ripe tomatoes simmered in a flavorful broth seasoned with garlic, onion, cilantro, and optional herbs or spices like oregano. Sometimes corn and cabbage are added for extra texture and taste. A staple of Mexican cuisine, this soup is light yet comforting, offering a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the variety of vegetables. With minimal oil and no added cream, it’s a low-fat, low-calorie option, making it ideal for those seeking a wholesome, plant-based meal. Frequently enjoyed alongside fresh lime and warm tortillas, it can be customized with chicken or other proteins if desired. However, sodium content may vary depending on broth choice, so homemade or low-sodium options are recommended for optimal health.
