Essential ingredients for a perfect pork soup:
- 500 g pork (the thigh is ideal for juiciness and flavor)
- 2-3 green onions (for a fresh taste)
- 1 green bell pepper (adds crunch and color)
- 1 red bell pepper (for a sweet contrast)
- 1 small zucchini (cleaned and diced)
- 1 white onion (for a sweet flavor)
- 1 red onion (adds a touch of color)
- 2-3 potatoes (for consistency)
- 1 parsnip (adds a slightly sweet taste)
- 1 carrot (for extra vitamins and color)
- 1 celery stalk (a classic ingredient to enrich the flavor)
- ½ l borscht (for a tangy taste, essential in soup)
- Salt, to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons of tomato paste/tomato juice (for a more intense flavor)
- Fresh herbs: parsley and lovage (for a fresh finish)
Step by step in making pork soup:
1. Preparing the meat: Start by washing the pork well under cold water, ensuring the water remains clean. This will remove impurities and contribute to a better flavor of the soup.
2. Boiling the meat: Place the meat in the Philips Multicooker and select the BOIL function. Let it boil for 20 minutes. At this stage, it is essential to skim off the foam that forms on the surface using a ladle. This step will ensure a clear and tasty broth.
3. Slow cooking: After completing the BOIL program, set the STEW function for 50 minutes. This will allow the meat to become tender and flavorful.
4. Preparing the vegetables: While the meat is cooking, peel and chop all the vegetables. This is a pleasant activity that you can do while waiting for the meat to be ready. Each vegetable will bring a distinct note to your soup.
5. Adding the vegetables: When there are 20 minutes left for the meat to cook, add the chopped vegetables to the multicooker pot. Let them boil together with the meat to blend the flavors.
6. Finalizing the soup: At the end of the STEW program, adjust the taste with salt and add the tomato paste or juice and borscht. Set the BOIL function again for 10-15 minutes so that all flavors combine perfectly.
7. Serving: Finally, add the chopped herbs, stirring gently. Your soup is ready to be served! You can enjoy it alongside a slice of fresh bread or polenta for a truly comforting meal.
Tips and useful advice:
- Buying meat: Choose fresh pork with an adequate fat content to achieve a juicy soup. The thigh is ideal, but you can also use other types of meat, such as neck.
- Vegetables: You can experiment with seasonal or favorite vegetables. For example, by adding peas or green beans, the soup will acquire a different texture and flavor.
- Borscht: If you do not have borscht, you can use lemon juice or vinegar to add a tangy taste.
- Storing the soup: Pork soup keeps very well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and is even tastier the next day when the flavors have had time to meld.
