Potato soup with pork ribs and carrot

This potato soup with pork ribs and carrot is a superly yummy and healthy chinese soup. I like to drink this chinese soup whenever I am feeling overworked, tired and stressed. If you want the potatoes and carrots to be softer, you can lengthen the cooking time to a maximum of 1 hour. If you want a crunchier soup, you can cut bigger cubes. The flavour of the soup does require more than 30 minutes of simmering to develop. Do not try to shorten cooking time by increasing heat. Cooking over low heat is important. Ingredients 200g potatoes 100g carrots 300g pork ribs 2 tbsp gou ji zi / chinese wolfberry / boxthorn fruit 3 dried red dates, cored 1800ml water salt & pepper Directions Parboil the pork ribs, drain, wash & trim off any excess fat Peel the carrots and potatoes, cut into bite-sized cubes Bring 1800ml water to boil, add ribs, carrots and potatoes Simmer for 30 mins.
