Slow Cooker Bones and Vegetable Soup Recipe

A hearty, delicious, yet simple soup recipe made with slow-cooked bones, meat, pig feet, beans, and garden greens. One of my favorite Filipino dishes.

Slow-cooked bones, meat, and pig's feet coupled with beans and garden greens.

I think this is a recipe that many of my fellow Filipino soup lovers (especially Ilocanas) will love. Slow cooked bones and meat with beans and fresh garden veggies--what more can you ask for?

Slow Cooker Bones and Vegetable Soup

• 1.5 lb pork, beef, or venison bones

• 1 lb pork, beef, or venison (cubed)
