An easy weeknight soup recipe that uses up leftover pork with hominy.

Scale
  • 1 Tbs avocado oil (or other neutral flavored oil)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 7oz can died green chiles
  • 23 cups leftover shredded pork (try Instant Pot Pork Carnitas)
  • 1 14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot over medium high heat on the stovetop and add in the 1 Tbs oil.

  • Allow the soup mixture to come to a simmer (slowly bubbling) and then reduce to medium low heat and cover with a lid and allow to cook for 10 minutes so the flavors can incorporate.
  • Season with additional salt as needed.
  • Serve with optional garnishes like diced green onion, avocado, radishes and cilantro
