Pork Soup With Astragalus

This soup is good for maintaining general good health and to relieve tiredness.

I made this soup using a store-bought pre-mixed herbal soup pack and the thermal cooking pot. The pork ribs are of course freshly bought.

It took approximately 10 minutes on the stove to bring everything to a boil and another 4 hours to cook in the thermal cooker using inducted heat.

Besides the parboiling for the pork ribs, everything else is placed together in the pot and cooked together. It is really easy to prepare.
