Pork soup bones are bones from various parts of the pig, often with some meat still attached, used to add rich flavor and depth to soups, broths, and stews. When simmered slowly, these bones release gelatin and collagen, which help thicken the soup and enhance its texture. Pork soup bones are ideal for making hearty stocks or broths, serving as a base for dishes like ramen, pork stew, or bean soups. They impart a savory, meaty flavor and are often used in long-cooked dishes to develop robust, comforting flavors.
