Keto Kittens’ Winter Wolf Soup
Winter Wolf is the name given by Keto Kittens to this delicious winter soup, which is a traditional, flavorful and comforting dish originating from Chinese cuisine.
It is made by simmering pork ribs in a savory broth for an extended period of time, infusing the meat with the flavors of the broth and resulting in tender, succulent ribs.
The broth is typically made by slow or pressure cooking pork spare ribs in ginger, garlic, chilli paste, soy sauce, rice wine, and other ingredients such as Chinese five spice, star anise, and bay leaves to add depth and complexity to the flavor. The pork ribs are usually cooked until tender in the broth and later the mushrooms and vegetables get added as they don’t need t cook so long.
The soup is commonly served with rice or noodles, but we shall do neither here as we are aiming for low to no carbs. Overall, this soup is a hearty and nourishing dish on its own that is ideal for cold winter days or for anyone looking for a warm, comforting meal. Its blend of savory and aromatic flavors is sure to satisfy, making it a delectable dish in our family and also among a lot of our keto friends.
When you are on keto and you are buying spare ribs, make sure there is still quite an amount of fat on them. Fat sucks in the spice flavours and gives out its own flavours better than the lean option.
And of course, where it is possible, it’s best to go for pasture raised local pork.
