Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 370kcal
Equipment
- Medium sized pot (2,5 L is enough)
Ingredients
- 50 grams smoked pork fat
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 medium onion
- 2 medium potatoes
- ¾ L meat broth (pork, chicken or beef is good)
- 1 can corn
- ½ L milk
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Chop the onion.
- Cut the potatoes into small cubes.
- Cut the smoked pork fat into small cubes. I removed the skin, as it is quite chewy, and might not be good to serve if feeding the soup to a child. But if you like the chewy skins, you can keep them on.
- Melt the butter in a medium sized pot. Add pork fat and fry for about 4 minutes. The fat will release a lot of liquid (fat) and will get this nice brown coating, and crunchiness. Take the fat out of the pot. Place the fried pork fat into a bowl with a paper towel, to absorb the excess fat.
- Add the onion to the liquid fat that came out of the pork fat. Fry the onion for about 5 minutes, it will become a bit transparent. Stir often, careful not to burn the onion.
- Add the potatoes to the onions. Add the broth and bring to boil (I used self made chicken broth). Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are done.
- Drain the corn. Add to the soup.
- Add the milk. Bring to boil and immediately remove from heat.
- Garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
I used self made chicken broth for this recipe.
