Asian meatbone soup *gluten free*
I hosted another dinner for the kids yesterday, and as per usual in a group of people, there are dietary restrictions to follow. I had one vegetarian and one that requires gluten-free food. I caved in to the demands of one and not the other (I practically created a separate meal for her though), and made a nice meatbone soup without starch.
Entire cooking time is three hours, and preparation time is 5 minutes. 
Or less. It can feed 20 people as a main course with rice, and really, it’d cost you $6 to make, tops. You can buy meats bone-in and save the meatbones in the freezer.
This is a "Chinese" version of the soup. Alternate version of the soup exists in Japan, Korea, Vietnam. It all depends on the spices you choose to throw in.
Ingredients
6 pork back ribs
1 pkg of frozen spinach
5 eggs
1 1/2 TBSP coarse salt
1/2 TBSP black pepper
fresh/dried herbs to taste. (I used sage, oregano, tarragon)
Instructions
Use the biggest soup pot in the house, fill it up to 1/2 with water, and bring to a boil. Add the meatbones, add salt and herbs. Bring down to a simmer and let simmer for an hour. Add the pack of frozen spinach, wait another hour, then drop in the eggs and stir. Let it simmer for another hour and you have a great soup in a pot. Remember, if you take the bones out, it’s not asian anymore. :p
My grandma used to serve this over a small scoop of rice to make it a nice hearty autumn soup.
Easy, huh. One of my singers had 5 bowls yesterday and I think she still wanted more, but wanted to save room for that veggie stirfry.
