In reply to Dolly K Lent. Yes, you can. Pork shoulder cuts have a good amount of fat which will make the soup rich and flavorful. Happy cooking!

In reply to Mel. You can add the vegetables once the ribs are cooked.

If using an instant pot, do you add in the vegetables in step 2?

In reply to Lily. Whole black pepper or white pepper adds to the overall flavour of the dish, but it’s okay to leave it out if unavailable. A pinch of ground white pepper as an alternative would be a nice touch and more in line with the expected flavour.

Is black pepper a must add in the recipe?

I made this tonight and it was another one of your recipes that is an instant family favorite! Easy to prepare, satisfying to eat. Meat is succulent, veggies are crisp tender, and broth is tasty and nourishing. Our 8yo and 5yo loved eating the corn and ribs (and finished their bowls). My husband said “it looks just like the picture!”.

This is an easy to do soup that is really flavourful. I used spare ribs from the supermarket which had a balanced amount of fat to meat. Black peppercorns were used but I didn’t have a small muslin bag to keep them together but it didn’t matter as the family merely avoided biting on them. The fresh corn gave the soup that extra sweetness so that was pleasing. Try it if you haven’t done so already!
