This nourishing Chinese pork bone soup is a traditional Cantonese-style comfort food made with simple, healing ingredients: pork bones, ginger, red dates, corn, and carrots. It’s naturally sweet, light, and deeply comforting — the kind of soup that Chinese families make for postpartum recovery, seasonal wellness, and everyday nourishment.

Optional blanch (for clear broth): Add pork bones to a pot, cover with water, and boil for 2–3 minutes. Drain, rinse bones, and rinse the pot. This removes impurities and creates a clean, clear broth.
Add pork bones, corn, carrots, ginger, red dates, and water to the Instant Pot.
Seal lid and set to High Pressure for 40 minutes.
Allow natural release for 15–20 minutes, then carefully release remaining pressure.
Season with salt to taste after cooking.
