Ingredients
1 to 1.2poundspork buttcut into 4 or 5 chunks (or cut of meat of your choice)
1can peeled tomatoes(796mL)
3carrotspeeled and roughly chopped
3potatoespeeled and cut in half (russets or Yukon golds)
Add the pork to a large pot of water and bring it up to a simmer to blanch it for 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the canned tomatoes with the liquid, carrots, potatoes, corn, onion, garlic, salt, and water to an extra-large pot over medium heat. Bring it to a boil.
After 10 to 15 minutes, there will be a layer of foam over the top of the water the pork’s in. Remove the pork, discard the water, and rinse the pork if there’s foam on them.
Transfer the pork to the pot with the vegetables. Partially cover the pot with a lid and gently simmer the soup for an hour and a half. The soup should reduce down by an inch by the time it’s done.
