Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork bones
- 12 cups Water
- 1 large Onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Carrot
- 3 Celery stalks
- 2 Bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Green onions
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the pork bones in a large stockpot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and allow them to cook for about 5 minutes. Drain the water and rinse the bones under cold water to remove any impurities or scum.
Return the bones to the stockpot and add 12 cups of fresh water.
Peel and quarter the onion. Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife. Chop the carrots and celery into large chunks.
Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and bay leaves to the pot with the pork bones.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for at least 2 to 3 hours. Skim off any foam or fat that rises to the surface occasionally to keep the soup clear and low-fat.
After simmering, remove the bones and vegetables from the soup with a slotted spoon. Let the broth cool slightly, then strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any small pieces.
Return the strained broth to the pot. Add the low-sodium soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Chop the green onions and parsley finely. Add them to the soup just before serving for a fresh, fragrant finish.
Adjust the seasoning if necessary, and serve the soup hot with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an added touch of color.
