To make this soup collagen rich, use pork hocks instead of pork shoulder. Personally, pork shoulder tastes better! But sometimes I switch it up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIME SAVING TIPS:
– Typically once the soup is ready, I let it cool, and freeze them in 400g portions in small zip lock bags. Then reheat easily for lunches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
