Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork bones
- 12 cups water
- 1 large, chopped onion
- 2 medium, sliced carrots
- 2 chopped celery stalks
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece, sliced ginger
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free if necessary)
- 2 for garnish, chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup, for garnish, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Start by blanching the pork bones: Place the pork bones in a large pot and fill with water until the bones are completely submerged. Bring the water to a rapid boil over high heat and let it boil for 5-10 minutes. This will remove impurities from the bones.
Once boiled, drain the bones and rinse them under cold running water to remove any remaining impurities.
In a clean large soup pot, add the blanched pork bones, 12 cups of fresh water, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, ginger, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 3 hours. Skim off any scum that forms on the surface periodically.
After 3 hours, carefully strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into another pot or a large bowl, discarding the solids.
Pour the clear broth back into the soup pot and season with soy sauce and salt. Allow the soup to simmer for another 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt or soy sauce to preference.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy a warm, hearty meal.
