One of our market customers from Narrabeen gave me this pork spare rib soup recipe and insisted I try it. She asked me two weeks in a row before I got around to it. Well worth it as this was super nourishing and delicious. I even ate it for breakfast one morning.

Ingredients:

1kg Pasture Fed Pork Spare Ribs, cut into bite size pieces (you could also slice up your own using a piece of pork belly)
1 brown onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp fennel seeds
1L filtered water
2 green apples, peeled, cored and diced (I didn’t peel mine)
800g pumpkin, peeled and diced
2 cups shredded cabbage
1-2 tbsp ghee (or tallow)
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Method:

Add pork, onion, garlic, fennel seeds and water to your slow cooker and cook on low for 3 hours.
Add remaining ingredients and continue to cook for another hour or two or until pumpkin is soft and you are ready to eat.
Extras freeze and reheat well for lunches or dinner.
