Carrot & Potato Soup with White Peppercorns

Since young, dinner will never be complete with a nice bowl of soup. Our family is really fortunate as Mum makes the best soups! She set very high standards on getting the best ingredients and wouldn't mind spending hours brewing it. I'm sure she prepares it with LOVE!

This is just one of her many well-loved soup recipes.

Ingredients (Serve 4)
2 carrots, cut into small chunks
4 potatoes, cut into small chunks
1 large white onion, sliced
400g pork ribs / lean pork
1 small pack of white peppercorns
2 litres water (for stock)

Method
Add boiling water to pork ribs to skim off fat (prevents the soup from turning cloudy). Repeat this step till the water is clear.

Boil water in a pot and add pork ribs. Simmer for 1 hour.

Add onion and peppercorns and simmer for another 1 hour.

Place carrots and potatoes and simmer till softened.

Add salt to taste and serve hot.
