LEFTOVER PORK CHOP SOUP RECIPES

Steps:

• Place pork chops, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, chili powder, bay leaf, chicken broth, water, and soy sauce in a large stock pot. Bring to a boil, uncovered, then reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for 1 hour. Remove the pork chops and set aside to cool.
• Whisk 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid with the flour; set aside. When the pork chops are cool remove and discard any bones or fat. Chop or shred the meat into bite size pieces.
• Add the potato, broccoli, carrot, onion, celery, and cooked pork back to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, stir in the flour mixture. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Remove the bay leaf and gently mash the potatoes before serving.

Steps:

• Place skillet on medium-low heat. Add a tablespoon of butter.
• Peeled and coarsely chopped the onion into bite size pieces. Coarsely chop the celery. Add to the skillet. Stirring occasionally as it cooks.
• While onions and celery are cooking, break up the broccoli into florets. Add more if you like lots of broccoli. Cube the pork into bite-size pieces. Place these into a casserole dish.
• Mix the soup, milk and Worchester sauce together.
• When the celery and onions are partially cooked and the onions have begun to caramelize slightly, add to casserole dish. Poor soup mixture into casserole dish and mix together.
• Cook in 350 oven for 35 to 45 minutes, until bubbling and starting to brown along the edges.
• Meanwhile mix rice and water together. Bring to a boil and cook on medium heat until all water is absorbed, about 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• NOTE: You can also reduce the water by 1/2 cup and add the rice and the 1.5 cups water to the casserole dish, cover it and cook at 350 for one hour. This will allow the soup to flavour the long grain rice.
• Serve casserole on the rice.
