Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large pot, add the salted beef or pork and cover it with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour to tenderize the meat.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    After the meat has simmered, add the chopped carrots, celery, onion (quartered), garlic (smashed), bay leaves, black peppercorns, and additional water if necessary to cover the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Continue to simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the meat is fully cooked.

  4. 4

    Add Watercress

    Finally, add the fresh watercress to the pot and allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes until wilted. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat, ladle the soup into bowls, and serve hot.
