Very tasty! I made it using leftover pork loin roast and ended up adding a chicken breast as well. I did add more broth than the recipe calls for and also cooked my rice in the simmering soup. The whole family loved it. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Made this yesterday when GS (9yrs old) was here and he kept eating and eating and eating! Very wonderful soup. The soup doesn't not have alot of broth ( easily remedied, more broth) but it has excellent flavor. I did use regular white rice as that is what I had, can't wait to try it with wild rice. Even my DH who is not really soup lover gave it a thumbs up. Will definitely make on a regular basis. Thanks so much for pure yuummmm. Laurel

Excellent soup! I used leftover pork and made it the lazy way, I thinly sliced the onions used instant rice. I dumped all the other ingredients in a pot and simmered it until everything was hot.

Very tasty soup,very good for you and easy to make. I did use ham instead of pork chops, other than that I made it as stated in the recipe using 2 cans of chickeb broth and cut down on the HOT sauce. DH doesn't care for to HOT & spicy foods. Thank you Carrie for posting the recipe.
