Slow Cooker Pork Soup - Easy and Mouthwatering

Have you ever made soup in your crockpot? Soup recipes are great for slow cooking because the crockpot cooks the ingredients slowly and all the flavors blend together perfectly. Vegetable soup recipes are great in the slow cooker and you can even make classic soups like a crockpot French onion soup recipe.

Pork soup might sound unusual and this dish is easy to make and will make a change from your usual dinner staples. Pork ribs can be combined with broth, vegetables, and seasonings to make a really flavorful soup. Most meats cook really well in the crockpot and pork is no exception. The meat will be incredibly tender.


Ideas for Pork Soup Recipes

Combine pork with apples, apple juice, and vegetables for a really flavorful pork soup. Pork and apples go together really well. You might like to make an Asian style pork soup, using pineapple, bell pepper, sugar, vinegar and more, for an authentic taste of Asia. Add water chestnuts and other Asian ingredients to make it even more delicious.

If you add a lot of vegetables or pork and not so much liquid, you can change your pork soup into a pork stew. Serve this with mashed potatoes or rice for a hearty dinner.

Be creative when making pork soup recipes and add your favorite vegetables and seasonings. If you have some vegetables past their prime, throw those into the soup. They will come out just as nice as fresher vegetables.

Recipe for Crockpot Pork Soup

This recipe is really simple and you just have to combine the ingredients in the crockpot and turn it on. You can cook the soup on high power or low power, depending when you want to eat. If you are going to be out all day, it is nice to cook it on low power and know that your tasty pork crockpot soup will be ready as soon as you get home.

If you want to use beef instead of pork, you can use a pound of lean stewing beef in one-inch pieces. Swap the chicken bouillon cubes for beef bouillon cubes.

If you want to thicken this pork soup, you can use a couple of fourteen and a half ounce cans of chicken broth (or beef broth, if you are using beef) rather than the water and bouillon cubes.

What you will need:


1 lb boneless country style pork ribs, in 1-inch pieces
1 peeled, chopped potato
2 chopped ribs celery
4 sliced carrots
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 chopped cabbage
1 chopped onion
28 oz can crushed tomatoes in juice
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

How to make it:

Add all the ingredients to your crockpot, then cover it and cook it on high for four to five hours or low for eight to nine hours. The soup is ready when all the vegetables are tender and the pork is cooked through.

You can make all kinds of famous soups in the crockpot or on the stove. Perhaps you fancy making a French onion soup recipe. Serve classic French onion soup for lunch, dinner or as an impressive appetizer at a dinner party.
