Make   -   (15 min)
  1. Place 2-1/2 cups cold Water in a small pan. Stir in Duros, Vegeta, and Salt (for a stronger, meatier broth, use a little more of the duros).
  2. Bring the Water to a boil, cover and turn to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
  3. Strain. You can eat the Duros.
  4. This stock can be kept refrigerated for a week or so. For longer storage see our Soup Stock / Broth page.
NOTES:

  1. Duros:

      This pasta-like product can be found in markets serving a significant Mexican community - or ordered on-line. I usually use the wheels for this recipe, squares for puffing. For details see our Duros page.
  2. Vegeta:   This is a widely available vegetable seasoning. For details see our Vegeta page. Recommended, but you can skip it if you just want the meatiness.
  3. Comments:   As of this writing (7-2026), you will not find this broth anywhere but on this site. Back in the days before Google I bought some Duros, but had no idea what to use them for. I tried cooking them as pasta, and found them a bit odd - but what really surprised me was the flavor of the cooking water, thus this recipe.
  4. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
