Yes, you can make this watercress soup in a normal pot on the stove top by following these instructions: 1. First add your pork and minced garlic into a pot filled with 8 cups of water. Then bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer over medium heat covered. Let this boil for at least 120 minutes to really bring out the flavour. 2. Remove the lid and skim out the scum and oils floating at the top. 3. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then add your washed watercress leaves into the pot and submerge them. 4. Boil for 30 minutes until the leaves turn a darker green. Season with soy sauce and enjoy!
