When it comes to pork soup, I’m used to enjoying rich, fatty, and flavorful creations that my mom used to make for us. She would use the fattiest cuts of meat, resulting in heavenly soups that, unfortunately, weren’t the healthiest.

But when my family asked for a pork soup recipe, I thought it was time to create a lighter version without compromising on taste. So, here’s my pork chop soup, crafted to satisfy both the palate and the desire for a healthier option.

Using pork chops might not be as healthy as using chicken or turkey and is definitely not the best option if you compare it with a vegetable soup! But I think pork chop soup is the best option if you must or want to use pork meat. And sometimes you really need some saturated fat in your life, am I right? Lol. But seriously, life is short and we must treat ourselves every now and then. And this pork soup recipe is one of my favorite way of having a blast when it comes to culinary options.

The meat is tender and savory and the vegetables add so much flavor and this pork chop soup comes together pretty quickly, making it a fuss-free recipe that will soon become a family favorite! I decided to add just a bit of sour cream in my bowl with pork chop soup and I also wanted to spice things up a bit (more like a lot, really!) with some pickled chili peppers. It was the perfect Sunday dinner!

When making soups, I normally roast the vegetables first to give them a bit of a smoky flavor that will then transfer to the soup, making it a lot more flavorful and yummy. This is optional but it does make the difference between a blah soup and a lip-smacking one! Just my two cents here.
