I want to make soup

I'm on a carnitas kick right now. I fell in love last Sept when I was in TX, and rekindled the romance when I was there over the holidays. Not soup, but here's how it goes according to the lady at Casa Garcia's:

3-5 lb pork butt, cut into 2" chunks
1/2 c orange juice
1/4 c lime juice
a few shakes of Adobo seasoning
several cloves of crushed garlic

Put the pork chunks into a heavy pot or cast iron skillet, then add everything else. Add water to just cover the pork. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer uncovered for 2 hours. Crank up the heat to med-high and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated. You're left with the fat from the pork, which you will then use to brown the meat. Once it's all browned up, it's time to eat!

I could eat this every day. Or once a week, anyway.

All this talk about soup has inspired me to make the Sausage Lentil soup for New Year's Day.

Normally, I cook a pork roast with sauer kraut, mashed potatoes, black eye peas for NY, since my mom always did. But, I would rather have the soup -it's less work to make & less clean up.

That is what my mom and her mom always did. The more kraut or black eyed peas you ate (cannot remember which one) was to give you good luck in the new year.

Made broth with all the leftover chicken/turkey/veggies from the holidays. (Tip: you can freeze the carcasses until ready to make broth). I just have to decide what soup to make; too many yummy sounding recipes! Always make the black eyed peas no matter what; I was raised on that good luck thing, too. Happy New Year!

People were fighting over it. :boxing: I was the last to get any and had to scrape the bottom of the pot to even get a SMALL bowl of it. :lol:

I skip the bell pepper, too and add a can or two of green beans. :yum:



Trust me, they will love it. :yay:

Made it for dinner, and everybody loved it. Used a thick cut bacon that didn't crisp up very well, but it worked great. Used the green peppers. Used 3 Tbsps of chili powder. Would of used more but wanted the 3 year old to eat it too, and eat it she did. Only thing she didn't eat was the potatoes, and that was because of the size of the chunks. I had three bowls and I'm stuffed. Very good.

Not really a soup unless you add more liquid but easy to make and quite delicious - stolen from RoseRed's momma! :lol:

That chit is GOOD. She hooked me up with the recipe after I scarfed three bowls of it at RR's house that time. I omit the green pepper as well because I burp them up for days. :geek:

I have decided I want to make soup. Any recipes would be appreciated. :biggrin:

I love potato soup. The last time I made it I added ham, broccoli, cheese, onion. OMG, the best soup ever!

I do like to cheat and stop at Panera Bread and get their bread bowls. I cut out the middle and put the soup in them like they do. Delicious! I do this with chili also. :drool:
