Pork Bone Soup

It's a dreary, rainy day. Good excuse to make a healthy, comforting soup like this one!

Ingredients:

1  pork butt/shoulder bone

6-8 cups water or enough to cover bone

1 bay leaf 

Salt to taste

3 carrots, diced 

2 celery stalks, diced 

1 onion, diced 

4-5 tsps minced garlic 

2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix

1/2 cup bell pepper, diced 

Salt and pepper to taste 

1 tsp onion powder 

1 tsp oregano 

1/2 tsp ground cumin 

1/2 tsp celery seed 

2 cups egg noodles 

Garnish with fresh parsley 

Start off by making the pork bone broth. Use a leftover roast pork bone or a bone from the butcher. I used the leftover bone from my Savory Slow Roasted Pork and Potatoes. Here's the link:

Place the bone in the bottom of a dutch oven, cover with water. Add the bay leaf and some salt, bring to a boil then cover and simmer 2-3 hours. Remove the bay leaf and chill. Once chilled skim off any fat but if the broth seems gelatinous you're lucky. That just means it's rich in collagen which is full of protein and other good-for-you stuff!

Remove any meat from the bone. You can also chop up some leftover roast pork if you have it.

Add everything to the dutch oven except the egg noodles. Bring to a boil then simmer for 15 or 20 minutes until the carrots are tender.

Bring the soup back to a boil and add the noodles. Simmer 7-9 minutes or until the noodles are cooked. Taste for salt and pepper.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Serves 4-6

This soup is yummy but I sure hope the sun comes back out soon!
