Sopa de Chicharrón (Pork Crackling Soup)

I am cooking today something that I have been craving for a while, pork crackling soup is a lovely and delicious soup that it is usually serve as a little starter in restaurants in Mexico while you wait for your main meal. 

It is a very easy recipe, but full of flavour. I bought my pork crackling in China town and it is just like the one you find in Mexico and when you cook it in this simple tomato & onion broth the flavour is just amazing.

Here is the recipe:

Serves 4

Ingredients

• A bowl of pork crackling
• 3 tomatoes
• 1/2 onion
• 1 L of chicken stock
• Salt to taste
• A pinch of oregano
• A pinch of ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp rapeseed oil

To garnish

• Avocado slices
• Chopped coriander
• Chopped onion

Method

1. Chop the tomato and onion. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, once hot add the onion and the tomato. Cook for 10 min and add the chicken stock.
2. Let it come to a simmer & add salt, pepper & oregano.
3. Then add the pork crackling and let it cook until all the cracking is soft.
4. Serve it in a bowl and garnish with chopped coriander, slices of avocado and chopped onion. Enjoy it as a starter!

Listo!

Provecho!
