Step 1
Rinse the lean pork shoulder under cold running water. Pat dry and cut into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine the pork and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, skim off any foam or scum that rises to the surface. This helps keep the broth clear.

Add the quartered potatoes and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
