Smoky Pork Taco Soup Recipes

SMOKY PORK & BLACK BEAN TACOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and cook for 5 mins until softened. Sprinkle over the spices and cook for 1 min more. Add the mince, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon, and stir until cooked through.
• Stir the passata and barbecue sauce into the pan along with 4 tbsp water. Increase the heat and allow the sauce to bubble and reduce until it clings to the meat. Add the beans, season and cook for a further 2 mins, then stir in the coriander. Heat the tacos following pack instructions.
• Use the pork and bean mix to fill the tacos, top with slices of avocado, shredded iceberg lettuce and a dollop of soured cream, if you like.

QUICK TACO SOUP WITH PORK CARNITAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over high heat.
• Add the pulled pork and cook for 1 minute until parts of it are browned, then remove from the saucepan. Do this step even if you are using shredded chicken or another meat.
• Add garlic and onion, sauté until onion becomes translucent (2 minutes), then add the capsicum (bell pepper) and cook for 1 minute until softened.
• Return the pulled pork into the saucepan and add all other ingredients except salt and pepper. If you are making this ahead to FREEZE, see below for instructions.
• Stir to scrap the brown bits from the pulled pork off the bottom of the pan to mix in with the soup flavours.
• Bring to boil then turn down heat slightly and allow to simmer rapidly for 3 minutes so the flavours can come together. If you are using crushed tinned tomatoes instead of passata, let it simmer for a further 5 minutes to let the tomatoes breakdown a bit. If the soup gets too thick to your liking, just add a bit more water.
• Do a taste test, then season with salt and pepper. It is important to season last because different stock brands have different levels of saltiness.
• Serve with toppings of choice. The more toppings = more delicious!

SMOKY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP WITH CHIPOTLE AND FIRE ROASTED TOMATO

Steps:

• Bring the broth to a simmer and add the chicken tenders, poach them for 6 to 7 minutes with a bay leaf.
• While the chicken poaches, heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a medium soup pot or deep skillet over medium high heat. Add the bacon and cook it until crisp then remove it with a slotted spoon. Drain off the excess fat, leaving 2 to 3 tablespoons in the pan. Add the onions and garlic to the skillet and cook them for 5 minutes then stir in chipotles and tomatoes.
• Remove the chicken from the stock, dice it then add it to the soup. Pass the stock through a strainer then add it to the soup.
• Place a pile of crushed tortilla chips in the bottom of each soup bowl. Cover it liberally with smoked cheese then ladle the hot soup down over the top. Serve it with lime, raw onions and cilantro at table to finish the soup.
