In Colombia, we talk about "guayabo" (hangover) when facing the consequences of intense partying the night before. Those of us who have suffered from this ailment, have desperately searched for a good antidote to help recover from all this lost energy. This homemade caldo de costilla or rib broth beef broth is one of our 'foolproof' cures that we truly enjoy. The special mix of beef ribs, water, potatoes, cilantro and green onion combine to create a potion with magical results!
