Pig Liver and Greens Soup

About This Recipe

This tender and flavorful Pig Liver Soup with Greens is a comforting dish that combines rich, savory broth with melt-in-your-mouth pig liver and fresh, vibrant vegetables. The key to its deliciousness lies in blanching the liver first to lock in tenderness, then simmering it in a fragrant broth seasoned with ginger, green onions, and a touch of lard for depth. Baby greens like spinach add a fresh contrast, while a hint of cooking wine and starch ensures the liver stays silky smooth. Quick to prepare yet packed with umami, this nourishing soup is perfect for a light meal or revitalizing boost. The balance of textures and flavors—from the savory chicken essence to the aromatic lard—makes every spoonful irresistible. Try it for a wholesome, restaurant-quality dish at home!
