3 Brastagi potatoes (skinned and cut into quarters or sixths, depending on the size of the potato) - Russet potatoes will melt in the soup if cooked for long
2 carrots, skinned and chopped into chunks
½ - 1 can button mushrooms (optional)
1 packet of fish balls (optional)
10g dried scallops
2-3 chicken carcasses
3 pieces of pork ribs (about 200g)
3 cloves garlic, leave peel on
3-4L water
fish sauce to taste
Instructions
Place the pork ribs and chicken carcasses in a pot of water with enough water to cover them. Bring it to a boil then turn the flame off.
Remove the pork ribs and chicken carcasses and place them in a soup bag, together with the garlic and dried scallops. Tie up the bag and place the bag in your soup pot filled with 3-4L water.
Bring the water to a boil, add the potatoes and simmer for about 3 hours, adding in the carrots at the halfway mark.
Add in the button mushrooms and the fish balls just before serving. Bring the soup to a boil again and wait till the fishballs float to the top.
Add sauce to taste and serve.
