This is the easiest soup. You just put some water in a large sauce pan, add pork bones and a garlic clove the you’ve just bruised. I find the garlic makes the soup smell nicer during the cooking process, you don’t have that full on pork smell going through your house. In 20 min to 1/2 hour after simmering add some chopped carrots and a generous amount of fish sauce, to taste. When the meat is tender add in the water cress and be ready to serve. You could also use cabbage as well.
This has been a family dish since I can remember and it’s a winner with the children. Add steamed rice into the soup bowl and break off the meat and serve it to even babies who can’t get enough.
