Cooking time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
Servings: 6

Necessary ingredients:
- 6 pieces of pork bone (preferably with a bit of meat)
- 2 large onions
- 2 carrots
- 1/2 celery
- 1 parsnip
- 4 medium potatoes
- 50 g rice
- 1 l borscht (or to taste)
- 1 can of peeled tomatoes (about 400 g)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg

Preparing the pork bone soup

1. Preparing the bones: Start by washing the pork bones well under a stream of cold water. This step is essential for removing impurities and achieving a clear and tasty soup.

2. Boiling the bones: Place the bones in a large pot and add about 2 liters of water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer. It is important to skim off the foam that forms on the surface to obtain a clean soup.

3. Adding the vegetables: After removing the foam, chop the onion, carrots, celery, and parsnip into small cubes. Add these vegetables to the pot and let them simmer for 30 minutes until the bones release all their flavor into the broth.

4. Adding additional ingredients: When the meat on the bones is almost cooked, add the rice and diced potatoes. Mash the peeled tomatoes with a fork and add them to the pot. They will provide a pleasant acidity to the soup and a vibrant color.

5. Final boiling: Let the soup simmer for another 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked. Then, add the borscht that has been previously brought to a boil. This will give the soup that specific tart note.

6. Finishing the soup: When the soup has cooled slightly, beat the egg in a separate bowl. Gradually add a few tablespoons of soup to the bowl with the egg, stirring constantly to avoid coagulation. Then, pour the egg mixture into the soup, stirring well.

7. Seasoning: Add salt and pepper to taste. Finally, sprinkle fresh herbs on top of the soup for an extra touch of flavor and color.

8. Serving: The pork bone soup is served hot, alongside a spoonful of yogurt or sour cream if desired. Its delicious aroma and the soup's warmth will make you feel at home.

Practical tips:
- For an even more intense flavor, you can add some spices, such as paprika or bay leaves.
- If you want a heartier soup, you can add more rice or potatoes.
- The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days and can be easily reheated. The REHEAT and KEEP WARM functions of a multicooker are very useful in this regard.

Nutritional benefits:
Pork bone soup is an excellent source of protein, thanks to the meat and bones that release collagen during cooking. This is beneficial for joint and skin health. Additionally, the added vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals, making this soup a nourishing and comforting choice.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use bones of another type? Yes, you can experiment with beef or chicken bones, but the taste will be different.
- How can I make the soup more sour? In addition to borscht, you can also add lemon juice or vinegar, depending on your preferences.
- What other vegetables can be added? You can use zucchini, bell peppers, or even green beans to diversify the flavors.

Pork bone soup is a dish that not only nourishes the body but also the soul. Its aromas will remind you of family meals, and each spoonful will take you on a culinary journey full of memories. Try this simple recipe and enjoy the comfort of a warm soup, perfect for any occasion!
