Salt pork and boil in water (if lean, tougher cuts) for 30-40 minutes with pepercorns, broth cube, garlic, onions and bay leaves.

Taste soup and adjust with salt or broth cube.

Drop in mixed veggies and cook 6-7 mins more. Traditional ones are: green beans, sliced cabbage, wombok, bok choy/pechay and quartered potatoes(add these earlier). Some also put in halved (and peeled) saba bananas or pre-cooked corn cob(cut) - which adds sweetness to the soup, if you prefer that.

Enjoy and scoop over hot rice.
