    How to make artichoke soup with pork bones

    1. Prepare the ingredients

    Cut each artichoke into 4 pieces and wash them. Chop the pork tail bones and cut the pork loin into pieces.

    Blanch the bones and the pork in boiling water, then rinse them clean. This gets rid of the scum so the soup comes out clearer.

    Cut the red dates. Peel the carrots and slice them.

    2. Simmer the soup

    Bring over 2 litres of water to the boil in a pot. Add all the ingredients and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and seasoning.

    Ladle it into bowls and eat it hot, with steamed rice.
