Arroz caldoso is a dish which originated in Spain. It literally means "brothy rice" and consists of broth (stock) and rice with diverse flavourings and extra ingredients.[1][2] The recipe is quite varied depending in which region of the Iberian Peninsula it is prepared. Variations of this dish range from a recipe quite similar to Italian risotto, to a rice soup, to a dish that could be mistaken for paella.
