Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion (diced)
• 2 medium carrots (sliced)
• 2 celery stalks (sliced)
• 4 garlic cloves (minced)
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes (undrained)
• 2 15-ounce cans canned white beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the pork shoulder cubes lightly with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot in batches. Brown the pork on all sides (about 4–5 minutes per batch), then transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the bottom of the pot, scraping up any browned bits.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), white beans, bay leaf, rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Return the browned pork to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45–50 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
