Potato with Tomato Pork Bone Soup (土豆番茄排骨汤 Tu Dou Fan Qie Pai Gu Tang)

Try this soup for the warmer months of the year. Potato with Tomato Pork Bone Soup is subtly sweet and refreshing.

Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

2-2 ½ quarts of pork bone stock along with 4 to 5 pieces of pork neck bones (see previous post)
1 large or 2 medium-sized potatoes
1 medium tomato
2 teaspoons kosher salt or 1 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon sugar

1
Pour the pork bone broth along with the bones into a medium saucepan and close the lid. Set the heat to medium-high.
2
While waiting for the stock and bones to heat up, peel the tomato’s skin. Follow the details in step 2 in my previous post on how to make tomato fish fillet tofu stew. Cut the peeled tomatoes into small wedges.
3
Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Wash the green onion and chop the green part into small pieces.
4
When the broth begins to boil, add the potato cubes and tomato wedges. When it boils again, lower the heat to low or medium-low to produce a low rolling boil. Cover and let cook for about 20-30 minutes until the potatoes become soft.
5
Turn off the heat and add the 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1 tablespoon sugar, mixing well.
