Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs pork ribs
- 8 cups water
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 units celery stalks, sliced
- 1 medium potato, diced
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 unit bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the pork ribs under cold water to remove any excess bone fragments. Pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large pot, add the pork ribs and 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming any foam that rises to the surface.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the quartered onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, minced garlic, and bay leaf.
Let the soup simmer for 1 hour, occasionally skimming any foam or fat that might accumulate on the surface.
After the broth has been simmering for an hour, add the diced potato, low sodium chicken broth, black pepper, and fresh thyme.
Continue to simmer the soup for another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and pork ribs are tender.
Remove the pork ribs from the soup and let them cool slightly. Once cooled, cut the pork into bite-sized pieces and return them to the soup, discarding any large bones.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional black pepper if necessary.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy this comforting and flavorful low sodium pork rib soup.
