CZECH PORK SOUP
Another soup recipe from *Stroganov to Strudel* (Great Traditional Cooking From Germany, Austria, Hungary & the Czech Republic) - Thanks to my great-uncle Emil (Placek) who married my great-aunt Loretta (Sullivan), my Irish family was exposed to & I grew up loving the Czech cuisine. Soups like this easy-fix + a salad made from their garden of plenty are fond memories of my childhood (Like most soups, time is almost all cook time, but I also allowed 10 min for ingredient prep). *Enjoy* !

Steps:
- In a bowl, form a paste using the vegetable oil, mustard, caraway seeds, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub over the pork roast, and let sit about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Arrange the onions in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Pour in the beer. Place the roast, fat side down, on top of the onions. Cover the pan with foil.
- Roast 1 hour in the preheated oven. Remove foil, turn roast, and score the fat. Continue roasting 2 1/2 hours, or to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove from heat, reserving pan juices, and let sit about 20 minutes before slicing thinly.
- In a saucepan, bring the reserved pan juices to a boil. Mix in the butter and cornstarch to thicken, reduce heat, and simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with the sliced pork.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork. A fatty cut of pork, such as pork shoulder or pork belly, will yield a more flavorful soup.
- Brown the pork before adding it to the soup. This will help to develop the flavor of the pork and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your soup. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the dish.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
- Season the soup to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good starting points. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as paprika, cumin, or caraway seeds.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will add a creamy richness to the soup and help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
Conclusion:
Czech pork soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
