A delicious and easy slow-simmered soup.

More About This Recipe

  • Making good pulled pork is sometimes an all day affair, and rightfully so. If you’re smoking a whole pork butt, it takes time. Of course the results are delicious. When you don’t have 12 hours and still want delicious pulled pork, try this easy pulled pork soup! Because the pork is cubed and simmered, it cooks relatively fast and shreds beautifully. Mixed with a few other simple ingredients, this soup is comfort food in a bowl. I like serving this soup with some fresh parsley and tortilla chips. You could add cheese or other toppings if you want, too!
