BBQ Pulled Pork Soup

I'll keep this blog short and simple. BBQ Pulled Pork Soup. Very experimental. It is so good it doesn't even make sense.

1 pork loin (about a pound or more depending on how much meat you want in the soup)
1-2 C BBQ Sauce, I make homemade-Brown sugar, ketchup, mustard powder ect, but bottled would be great!
1 can/jar stewed tomatoes (12-16oz). I wanted diced, but I was out. DON'T drain.

I used a random variety of beans, all were canned this time, but dry beans prepped and ready to go would also work!
-chili beans(didn't drain)
-northern beans
-kidney beans
^Any beans would taste delicious!

Then seasonings. I have a hard time putting seasonings in my "recipes" because it is all a taste preference. I wanted a little more spice, but with two kiddos I had to keep it mild.
I added:
mustard powder
chili powder
paprika
garlic
onion powder
salt
pepper

I added a smidge of red pepper flakes but would have liked more!



I put everything in a slow cooker for the day. If you'll be gone all day, setting it on low would work great. Setting on high for 4-5 hours would also work well. I wanted mine really soupy so I added a little water, I had no broth on hand... that would have been preferred. Before serving, take out the pork and shred it then place it back in the slow cooker. I topped ours with sharp cheddar. I really think it added flavor and would not recommend leaving it out.

It took me 10 minutes to put everything in and then shred the pork. Too easy?!
