Jpeg

Super chunky soup made by Martin. Available were these bags of salsa verde with pork bits, so in it went.

Pork Taco Soup

Jpeg

Onions, carrots, celery. Pork Taco Mix, yams, black beans, chili powder, Italian seasoning, milk.

Often we get ingredients that are meant for restaurants. In this case, a bag of minced pork with taco seasoning. One could make a fine taco out this, but instead my partner Michele made a very tasty soup. I like the addition of yams. Huzzah!

Pork and Vegetable Soup

Jpeg

Mirepoix: yellow onion, green bell pepper. Nasty canned pork, asparagus, shiitake mushroom, butternut squash, sweet soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, sugar, lime sauce, basil, red pepper flakes.

Had never used “sweet” soy sauce, so in it went. Overall a mildly Asian flavor.

I swear, that canned pork is gross. But it was the only protein available, so had to strive to offset the inherent evilness of the vile cur. I gave my best Herculean effort. It ended up pretty good.

Pulled Pork Pandemonium Soup

Jpeg

Mirepoix: yellow onion, red bell pepper, carrot. Pulled pork, cauliflower, snap peas, roasted eggplant, cantaloupe, chopped roasted pistachios, garlic, lemon juice, fish sauce, parsley, Molly’s beef base.

Not quite a “round up the usual suspects” type of soup, I know. But I think Ilsa and Rick would have dug it.
