Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 large carrot, chopped
• 1 zucchini, chopped
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• 6 cups bone broth or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by trimming any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cutting it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the pork cubes to the pot in batches, browning all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned pork to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, approximately 3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped celery, carrot, zucchini, and bell pepper to the pot, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 7

Return the browned pork to the pot and pour in the bone broth, ensuring all ingredients are submerged.

Step 8

Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Add the dried thyme, dried oregano, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Cover the pot partially and let it simmer for 1 hour or until the pork is tender and flavorful.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf from the soup.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then stir in the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
