How to Make Chinese Dried Fig Apple And Almond Soup

  1. Rinse 1 cup of almonds in several changes of cold water.
  2. Soak the almonds in 1/2 cup cold water overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to soften them.
  3. Core the apples and cut them into 1-inch-thick wedges.
  4. In a 4-quart saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
  5. If using pork, add the pork cubes and return to a boil, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface.
  6. Add the apple wedges, dried figs, soaked almonds (including their soaking water), and optional pork to the saucepan.
  7. Bring the mixture back to a boil over high heat.
  8. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 3 hours, or until the apples are tender and the flavors have melded.
  9. Serve piping hot. Garnish with extra almonds or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
