Green Papaya, Carrot, Fig and Pork Rib Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo here. With a major sporting event on, many of us end up glued to late-night broadcasts. The toll of staying up shows quickly — dry, tired eyes, dry skin, a hot, irritable feeling, puffy gums — and over the long run it can wear down your resistance. This green papaya, carrot, fig and pork rib soup is a clear, moistening bowl I like to recommend to the night-owl crowd.

Method

1. Peel and deseed the green papaya and cut into pieces. Peel the carrot and cut into pieces.
2. Soak and rinse the apricot kernels. Rinse the figs and cut in half. Blanch the pork ribs.
3. Put all the ingredients into 2.4 L of water and cook for about an hour and a half, reducing to 1.2 L. Serve.

Nourilo’s Tips

This soup is clear and naturally sweet, fine for young and old. The ingredients are rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Note: pregnant women should not use papaya, but it is well suited to new mothers and breastfeeding mothers.
