Rustic Zambian Spiced Pork Soup

Assemble the ingredients: pork, cumin, potato, bay leaf, garlic, salt, tomato.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the pork and cook until spiced.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Zambian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Zambian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
