Mom's Tomato Soup
- 1 -3 pork bone
- water
- salt
- pepper
- allspice
- 2 -3 bay leaves
- 1 -2 carrot, cut in half
- 1 small onion
- 1 parsley root
- 1 celery root
- 2 -6 teaspoons tomato paste
- 12-1 cup sour cream
- 12 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
- Trim pork bones of visible fat.
- Place 1-3 pork bones in a saucepan and add enough water to cover plus about one inch.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, allspice (4-5 whole or just a dash if using powder) and bay leaves.
- Cut onion in half and add to water.
- Simmer for about half an hour.
- Add carrot, parsley root and celery root.
- These vegetables should be cut in half, just so they cook quicker but don't have to be bite size as they'll be removed later.
- Simmer 15-20 minutes or until veggies are soft.
- Remove the vegetables, onion and meat.
- Add tomato paste, a few teaspoons at a time.
- Keep tasting it until you get the tomato flavour you want.
- Season to taste and finish with sour cream (amount will depend on how much soup you've made).
- To ensure the sour cream dissolves properly, stir it in a separate coup with some hot broth and then add to the soup.
- Add parsley and serve hot.
