Leftover Roast Pork and Vegetable Soup
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover roast pork, diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup green beans, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (my secret ingredient)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables become tender and aromatic, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the diced leftover roast pork and smoked paprika. Let them mingle and sizzle for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.
- Add the frozen corn and green beans. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle it into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
