Pork Rib Soup Recipes
Pork ribs are widely used in North American and Asian cuisines. Pork and bones of a pig’s ribcage are mostly cooked by grilling or baking or smoking and served with sauces etc. Pork soups are highly nutritious since they contain high level of proteins, water, sugar and fat in varying quantities.
For a simple Pork Rib Soup, you need:
- 4-5 pieces of blanched pork ribs
- 1 medium sized potato cut in large pieces
- 1 carrot skinned and cut into large pieces
- 1 large onion, cut into quarters
- 1 sliced celery
- 2 ear of corn
- Salt to taste
Boil water in a pot. Add pork ribs and vegetables. When the mixture starts to boil, lower the heat and let it simmer for 3 hours or so. Add salt to taste. Serve hot.
For some Chinese twist to pork ribs, you can try the Chinese Turnips with Pork Ribs Soup recipe:

- 1 Chinese turnip cut into bite sized pieces
- 300 gm pork ribs cut into bite sized pieces
- 10 cups of water
- Salt to taste
- A pinch of pepper
- A pinch of sugar

It would be interesting to know that Chinese turnips are known to cleanse our body from toxic and help releasing internal heat from our body.
It would be interesting to try the Malaysian Pork Rib Soup recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 lb pork ribs cut into small pieces
- 6-8 cups water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 star anise
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 peeled and crushed ginger
- 6-8 black peppercorns
- 4-6 cloves
- 2 quartered onions
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 sliced carrots
- 3 medium sized sliced potatoes
- ½ cabbage, chopped into small pieces
- 6-8 beans cut into small pieces
- 2-3 sprigs cilantro
- Salt
In a pot, add water, pork ribs, star anise, cinnamon sticks, cardamoms, ginger, black peppercorns, cloves, onions, and bay leaves. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar and salt to taste. Boil the contents. Then reduce the heat to medium and let them simmer for 40-50 minutes, uncovered. Skim it occasionally to remove excess oils and any froth that forms on the top.
Add carrots and potatoes and continue to simmer. When potatoes and carrots are cooked, add cabbage and green peas, add simmer till all are cooked. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot!
If you do not want the extra spices in the soup, then you can use tongs and remove the cinnamon sticks and all the other spices. This soup can be served as a starter or as a main course with steamed rice!
A small useful tip would be for the ones who want a fat free soup. Cook the pork ribs with all the spices and seasoning, in advance. Cool it completely and refrigerate. Then remove the fat layer that forms on the top. Then you can add the other vegetables!
It is useful to remember that pork ribs are best cooked when they are cooked on low heat and slowly. Because of their size, they generally cook fast. Just sprinkle with some seasoning and they will turn out to be great!!
