Whey and lettuce bone stock with smoked dried meats

[atomicsmoke]

This is a variation of a lettuce soup we cook often.

Whey is an important component - I hesitated about putting the thread in the Cheese section...but since the whey is store bought...."nose to tail" is.

I started with a pork spine bone. Cooked in the pressure cooker with vegs for 3h. Also tossed in some dried ends from a smoked coppa and some cooked bacon.

Meat after picking the bone

While i picked the bones i added the chopped lettuce to the stock.

Whey

I usually start with as little water as possible for stock , but i only found one bottle of whey...so had to make more stock. I used more yoghurt for the same reason (tempered).

Here it is

Well past the soup time today...but i had to have a taste

Very refreshing...tomorrow will taste even better.

The best use of whey (after cooking with it) if you ask me is pig feed.
