Just add porkMarch 08, 2009By Chalice
"I made this soup (and reported on it) about a week ago. I had more than enough ingredients so I decided to do it again this week. This time I doubled the ingredients (except the water - I used 14 cups, not 16 because the crock pot wouldn't hold the last two cups). I also decided to add a fully cooked pork shoulder butt during the final hour and a half, after boiling it for about 15 minutes to skim off the foam. Whoa! Was this ever good! (Admittedly, I added a lot of fat and calories, not to mention this was not a ""near-vegetarian"" meal. But that's what the treadmill is for. Obviously, the cost to make it went up too.) I'm all out of lentils, now. In a month or so, I'll probably experiment again. Yummers."
