This lotus root soup with pork rib is a comforting, healthy, and tasty soup for family meals. The ribs are tender while the broth has a delicate sweet-savory flavor and a gentle fragrance. You can make it on the stovetop or with a pressure cooker.
Pork rib soup was always in our family dinner rotation when I was a kid. Simply by switching up the vegetables cooked with the ribs, we were able to enjoy pork rib soups regularly without feeling repetitive.
This lotus root soup was among our most favorite soups with pork ribs. It is also one of those dishes that make us feel homey. We call it “canh sườn củ sen” in Vietnamese. The dish is popular in both Vietnamese and Chinese cuisines.
