As a working mom of 2 toddlers, I'm always looking for a time shortcut. I followed all of the ingredients as listed, except I put everything into a slow cooker (I even skipped the browning of the meat and veggies--less pots to clean). I cooked it on low for about 7-8 hours overnight. The smell was delicious and it is a very yummy, savory soup. The husband and kids didn't rave about it, though, so I gave it 4 stars.

Excellent soup. The only change I made was I substituted 1 lb of mild italian sausage for the pork chops and omitted the flour.

This soup is extremely good! I have made it twice now and the only changes I made were: 1.) instead of canned chicken broth I used the "Basic Vegetable Stock" recipe on this website (reallly good, and easy too!) and 2.) I also added fresh spinach a few minutes before the soup was done cooking. The spinach, in my opinion, really was the finishing touch for this soup. The second time I made it I used cabbage instead of spinach and it was also excellent, though I prefer spinach.

This recipe is really good. I leave out the oyster sauce and usually sub italian sauage for the pork chop. Great tasting and healthy.

I cooked it exactly as the recipe stated except I let it simmer a lot longer than 8 to 10 minutes because I wanted the meat to be extra tender and the result was a nice thick vibrant red broth. My eight year old didn't wait to ask for seconds, he got up and helped himself. He said I need to cook this every 6 days. Will definitely make this again.

Yum - delicious and very easy to make. My husband and I devoured the whole pot. I will definitely cook it again. I also added some kidney beans as I had some that needed using in the refrigerator, a nice addition.

We loved this! It was so easy to make and took no time at all. I used pork loin cooked the night before and it was fabulous. Healthy too. Great with fresh multi-grain bread. Thanks!

I thought this was tasty but my husband much prefers the similar recipe that uses Italian sausage as the meat ingredient.

Excellent soup! I make this for all new moms I know, along with a sald and loaf of bread. It keeps in the freezer and fridge well. If zucchini aren't in season, I use canned artichoke quarters. And for vegetarians, it's great if you just leave out the pork and substitute vegetable broth.

This was very good and different. I had lots of zucchini and was wanted a new recipe for pork chops. I didn't add the oyster sauce b/c I don't like the taste of seafood. It was delcious without it.

everyone at my tennis club asked for the recipe! The oyster sauce seems like a wierd ingredient, but tastes great with the herbs.
