I made this last night! I had always been too intimidated to attempt caldo de res but the recipe was easy to follow and actually a pretty simple process. Taste was great. Thank you!

I have two questions.

1. I have the 6 quart Instant Pot too. Do you think 8 cups of water would be ok-or should I do 6?

2. I'm used to a more tomato-ey caldo de res than the picture shows. Most of the caldo de res I've had had actually had red broth. Would you advise adding maybe adding a can of stewed tomatoes?

Can you use beef chuck roast ?

Meat with the bone will make your soup more rich, but if you don't have it chuck roast will work. I probably would jut add a bit more of it.

none of these reviews are Actually about how good or bad the soup is. Did anyone who commented actually make it or just admire the recipe and it’s ingredients
