It’s a wonderful way to use up leftover pork bones (from a roast, for example) and create something truly special.

What makes this soup so good?

Tips for the Best Soup:

• Bone Quality: Using high-quality pork bones will result in a richer, more flavorful broth. Ask your butcher for marrow bones or neck bones.

• Season to Taste: Don’t be afraid to adjust the salt and sugar to your liking. The balance of flavors is important!
