Notes
1. Soaking the pork slices in cold water results in a clearer soup. Also, skim off any scum that appears when the soup is boiling.
2. The tomato skin becomes detached in the boiling process and can be easily removed with chopsticks.
3. Sautéing the vegetables until fragrant before adding them to the water makes a richer tasting soup.
