Ingredients

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

Steps

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.
  • 5
    Remove pork and shred. Add pork back to soup along with beans. Season soup with salt and pepper.
  • 6
    Serve pork garnished with parsley.

    While not necessary, I like to serve this soup with tortilla chips. They add a great crunch and are delicious dipped in the soup.
