Pulled Pork Soup

Ingredient:

3 pounds pork butt, cubed
2 tbsp neutral oil
1 large white onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz. tomato paste
1 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 quart beef broth
1 (15 oz.) can white beans
Salt and pepper
Parsley, for garnish

Method:
In a large heavy pot, add neutral oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cubed pork butt (1-2 inch cubes) and brown well on all sides, cooking for 8-10 minutes total.

Add onion and garlic to the pot along with the pork. Add tomato paste and spices as well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until veggies soften.
Add diced tomatoes, brown sugar and beef broth to pot. Bring to a simmer and scrape up any bits stuck to the pan.

Cover pot and turn heat down to low. Simmer pork until it’s very tender, 75-90 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Remove pork and shred. Add pork back to soup along with beans. Season soup with salt and pepper.
Serve pork garnished with parsley.
