Ciorbă de oase

Ciorbă de oase is a traditional sour bone soup, typically made with meaty pork bones. Once boiled, the pork bones are discarded, and the meat stock with chunks of meat in it is cooked with a variety of vegetables such as carrots, parsley roots, peppers, green or yellow beans, onions, potatoes, celery, parsnips, and tomatoes or tomato juice. The soup is usually sprinkled with plenty of chopped parsley or lovage. Rich and filling, this bone soup is served piping hot with hot peppers and a few dollops of sour cream. It is typically seasoned with vinegar and lemon juice or borș.
