Pork Rib Soup w/Egg Plant & Watercress
On a recent visit, my father decided to cook dinner for us. He decided to make one of his favorite soups. I don't know what its really called, but it is so incredibly delicious!! It is made with St. Louis style ribs, watercress and eggplant in a very hearty broth seasoned with onions, tomatoes and patis or fish sauce. It doesn't get any better than that!!
