Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork ribs
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 large onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 3 celery stalks
• 3 medium carrots
• 1 large sweet potato
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups kale

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the pork ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork ribs and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer ribs to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the celery and carrots. Peel and cube the sweet potato.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the celery, carrots, and sweet potato to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Return the pork ribs to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaves, thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, covered, for 60-70 minutes or until the pork is tender.

Step 8

Remove the pork ribs from the pot and discard the bones. Use forks to shred the meat, then return the shredded meat to the pot.

Step 9

Add the kale to the soup and cook for another 10 minutes until the kale is wilted.

Step 10

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
