AMAZING RECIPE! i actually used it as a starting point...I added some sweet potatoes, rosemary, a little chili pepper, some red wine, and actually, i added about a tsp of cloves. It was so good!

This was really good. I browned my pork chops first in a little garlic and olive oil in a dutch oven pan, then added 1 cup of tomato sauce I had left over from Pasta Fagioli II soup I made last week (also from this site and also really good!),then I added a few diced cherry tomatoes, carrots, celery and 8 cups of water. I went ahead and added the beef bouillon at this point. I then added 3 (15.5 oz.) cans of kidney beans and the onions which I had sauteed in Olive oil and, ofcourse, the potatoes. I took other reviewers advice and shredded my pork chops and added some cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit. I maybe added 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper since you can season at the table. This is a nice soup and I am guessing it would be pretty yummy over rice. I chose to add 8 cups of water to have more of a soup consistency but I can see if you wanted a stew you could use less water and maybe even lightly flour the chops to thicken the broth a bit. Thank you for sharing this simple yet tasty recipe.

Really nice flavor! We shredded the pork chops after letting them cook in the liquid. It makes a lot, but the leftovers are great.

Excellent! I've made this several times-always a hit! Very comforting soup-it tastes like a pork roast!

Excellent, but I made too much because of the way the directions were worded. "Large pot" was very vague when there is no measurement listed for the amount of water to add. Regardless, we will enjoy having the leftovers tonight!

Super!
