Directions
Step 1
In a large pot, combine beef shank and pork hock with 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface.

Step 4
Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Step 5
Add the corn and green beans. Cook for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but not overcooked.
Step 6
Lastly, add the bok choy to the soup and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until wilted.
Step 7
Taste the broth and season with salt as needed.
