Often I make a great big pork butt or shoulder and I find myself creating great new recipes to use up those tasty leftovers. Do you do the same thing? Leftover smoked pork butt is always so moist and tender that the recipe possibilities are endless. Pork is such a versatile meat and when cooked right it is so flavorful and tender. Pork is commonly referred to as the other white meat and pork tenderloin is now as lean as skinless chicken breast.

Utilizing precooked pork shoulder or butt helps bring this recipe together real fast. You can simmer for about 20 minutes or let it meld together for a little while. Either way the smells and the flavors are amazing!

How do you make Smoked Pork Soup?
This scrumptious soup starts off with smoked pulled pork. You can purchase some already smoked or cook your own. I have purchased it from some of my local grocery stores and the big warehouse stores like Sams and Costco.
First heat a little oil olive over medium heat in a Dutch oven or heavy stock pot. Add the onions and the corn and cook until the corn starts to turn a rich golden brown. Stir occasionally but not so often that the corn is not browning. This can take anywhere from 10-15 minutes depending on how dark you want the corn. Stir in the cumin and Cajun seasonings cooking for about one minute while stirring constantly. Add the chicken broth scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze it. Now stir in the green chiles, salsa style tomatoes, diced tomatoes and cooked pork. Simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Helpful tips for making Smoked Pork Soup
- If you have time smoke your own pork butt. It is delicious, you will be controlling the ingredients and you will get several meals out of one pork butt.
- If fresh sweet farmers corn is available to you take the time to cut it off the kernel and use it.
- Cajun seasoning is fairly mild when added to a pot of soup. However you know your taste buds so adjust accordingly.
- Potatoes or pasta can be added to this soup. Potatoes would be added at the same time as the canned tomatoes and pork. Pasta should be added about ten minutes after the tomatoes and pork.
So if you are a soup lover like myself and you smoke some pork butts here and there then you must give this delectable Smoked Pork Soup a whirl. Your family will be singing your praises!

I smoked a 5 lb sirloin bone in roast and it didn’t shred well. Can I use it to make this stew? I’m wondering if I didn’t smoke it long enough.

I am not quite sure since it was smoked first. Theoretically it should work but I have not tried it in this situation.
