nourish soup blend (with pork)

Makes 6-7 servings. 

Ingredients: 

• nourish soup blend 
• around 0.8kg (2 lbs) pork shank or pork bone (blanched)
• 2-3 big carrots 
• 3 slices of fresh ginger root
• 8 cups of water if using a pot/6 cups of water if using a pressure/slow cooker

Instructions:

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the pork shank or bone. This will ensure that you'll get a clear, clean broth. 
2. In another pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.
3. Peel carrots and cut into 3 inch pieces. Slice ginger root into 1/2 inch pieces. Rinse pork and cut into 4 pieces (or just rinse pork bones if using bones). 

1. Add pork, ginger root, carrots, and nourish soup blend to water. Place on high heat until it begins to boil. 

1. Turn it down to low heat and cook for 2 hours (30-45 min in a pressure cooker or 3+ hours in a slow cooker). 
2. Add salt to taste (optional). Try not to burn your tongue drinking the delicious soup.
