Low Carb Vietnamese Pork + Chayote Soup
I love a simple home-cooked Vietnamese soup. The baby back pork ribs are simmered for 2 hours to make for the most luscious bone broth. The broth is then seasoned with sauteed white onions, scallions and garlic. The julienned chayote add a slight sweetness! I like to serve the soup with a small dipping bowl of fish sauce so you can dip the tender meat into it. You will be amazed at how flavorful the broth is with only a few simple ingredients.

Excellent soup base which you can transform to your taste. In fact supersize your pot and freeze bowl size portions for future meals (I would remove the chayote and add when reheated). Forget the mushroom seasoning and add real mushrooms. Add red pepper flakes, additional pork ribs, green onions, garlic and fish sauce for a robust taste. Overall, very good soup recipe.
