Preparation
Step 1
1. In a large pot, add the pork, 4 cloves of smashed garlic, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon oregano, 6 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and continue cooking for 1½ hours, skimming the top as needed.
2. Using a slotted spoon remove the pork onto a plate. Strain the broth and return it to the pot. Add the pork back in along with all of the remaining soup ingredients. Cook at a low simmer for another good hour or until the meat is tender. Taste for salt as it cooks down.
