CZECH PORK SOUP



Czech Pork Soup image

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* !

Time 3h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
5 pounds pork shoulder blade roast
3 medium onions, chopped
½ cup beer
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter

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.
