Chinese Vegetable Soup
Chinese Vegetable Soup is a light yet flavorful dish that highlights the fresh, natural tastes of vegetables in a clear, fragrant broth. Often served as an appetizer or a wholesome side, it features a combination of tender vegetables, herbs, and spices that create a refreshing balance of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork neck bones
- 10 cups water
- 2 large potatoes, cut into chunks
- 2 large tomatoes, quartered
- 1 onion, quartered
- 1 large carrot, sliced
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Place the pork neck bones in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil, then use a slotted spoon to remove any scum that rises to the surface. Once done, drain the water to clean the bones before continuing with the recipe.
- Place the cleaned bones back into the pot, then add 10 cups of water along with the potatoes, tomatoes, onion, and carrot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Let the soup cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with sugar and salt to taste before serving.
