Smoked Pork Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Make the soup: Combine the bacon, onion, garlic, tomato paste, smoked paprika, Creole seasoning and chili powder in a food processor; pulse to make a coarse paste.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the bacon-spice paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until dark brown, about 6 minutes. Add the ribs, turning to coat. Stir in the vinegar and molasses, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Stir in the tomatoes, chicken broth and 2 cups water. Cover and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and gently simmer, stirring once or twice, until the ribs are tender, 2 hours to 2 1/2 hours.
• Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and shred the meat; discard the fat and bones. Position the pot halfway off the burner and increase the heat to medium. The fat will migrate to the cooler side; use a ladle to skim it off. Reposition the pot over the burner and add the shredded pork and the beans. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the bread: Spread each slice evenly with the butter and relish. Top with the scallions and parsley. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with the bread.

Steps:

• Heat oil olive over medium heat in a Dutch oven or heavy stock pot. Add onions and the corn. Cook until the corn starts to turn a rich golden brown; stirring occasionally. This can take 10-15 minutes depending on how dark you want the corn.
• Stir in the cumin and Cajun seasonings. Cook for 1 minute; stirring constantly. Add chicken broth scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze it. Stir in the green chiles, salsa style tomatoes, diced tomatoes and cooked pork. Simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Steps:

• In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion in oil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add taco seasoning and ranch dressing mixes; cook and stir 1 minute.
• Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a heavy soup pot and add bacon until it's crisp, not burned. Remove bacon with slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add onion, carrot and celery to pot and cook over medium heat to soften, not brown about 5 minutes or more. Add garlic, rosemary, thyme, ground pepper and stir for about a minute until garlic is fragrant.
• Add potato, cabbage, beans and pork, stir and cook for a minute or two and then add water -I add a lot but if you want it to be more stewy than soupy, don't add as much.
• Turn heat to high and bring to boil, turn down to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until your vegetables are cooked. Take off heat and add salt 1/4 teaspoon at a time, stirring after adding and tasting until it's seasoned.
