Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless pork shoulder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 large zucchini, spiralized into noodles
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork shoulder with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork shoulder and sear on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and sliced celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Return the pork shoulder to the pot and pour in the chicken broth and coconut aminos. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook until the pork is tender and cooked through, about 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the pork from the pot and shred using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot.

Step 8

Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the soup and simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the noodles are tender.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
