Pour in the beef broth or water, bringing the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally.

Adjust Seasoning and Serve:

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. It goes well with warm tortillas or rice.
