ABC Soup
Description
ABC Soup features chunks of pork butt simmered with canned tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, corn, onion, and garlic in a lightly salted broth. The process begins by blanching the pork to remove foam and impurities, then combining it with the vegetables to simmer slowly. As the soup cooks uncovered, it reduces slightly, concentrating the flavors while keeping a balanced broth. The vegetables become tender without losing their shape, complementing the pork.
The combination of root vegetables, fresh corn, and canned tomatoes provides a mix of sweetness and earthiness, balanced by the savory aroma of garlic and onion. The soup's simmering method ensures that the pork becomes tender and integrates well with the flavors of the ingredients.
ABC Soup serves well as a warming main course or a substantial side dish, making it suitable for family meals. The recipe yields enough for 6 to 7 servings depending on portion size.
Ingredients
- 1 to 1.2 pounds pork butt cut into 4 or 5 chunks (or cut of meat of your choice)
- 1 can tomatoes 796mL, peeled
- 3 carrot peeled and roughly chopped
- 3 potato peeled and cut in half (russets or Yukon golds
- 3 corn cut in half or thirds, on the cob
- 1 onion cut in half
- 4 cloves garlic
- 8 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add the pork to a large pot of water and bring it up to a simmer to blanch it for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the canned tomatoes with the liquid, carrots, potatoes, corn, onion, garlic, salt, and water to an extra-large pot over medium heat. Bring it to a boil.
- After 10 to 15 minutes, there will be a layer of foam over the top of the water the pork’s in. Remove the pork, discard the water, and rinse the pork if there’s foam on them.
- Transfer the pork to the pot with the vegetables. Partially cover the pot with a lid and gently simmer the soup for an hour and a half. The soup should reduce down by an inch by the time it’s done.
Notes
- The recipe yields about 6 to 7 servings depending on whether it is served as a main dish or side.
