Green Guava and Goji Lean Pork Soup

Why people make this soup

Unripe green guava — pale-skinned with a mild aroma — is often overlooked, yet it is perfect for soup. Low in calories and rich in vitamins C and B and other minerals, it is traditionally associated with helping to support blood-sugar balance; it is also kind to the heart and has an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory reputation. Paired with goji in a lean pork soup, it makes a wholesome pot for those managing blood sugar or the “three highs”.

Method

1. Wash and chunk the guava; soak and rinse the goji; slice and blanch the pork.
2. Simmer the guava and pork in 1.8–2.1 L of water for 40 minutes.
3. Add the goji and simmer 5 minutes more. Done.
