Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• For the pulled pork, I used some smoked pulled pork from Costco. It is crazy delicious.
• If you don’t have access to Costco, just look for pre-cooked pulled pork at the grocery store. It is where the other prepared meats are. At my store, it is near the diced ham and pre-made potatoes near the produce section.
• Look for pulled pork that doesn’t have BBQ sauce on it. Walmart sells their Great Value brand of uncured pulled pork without sauce.
• You can also pick up a pound of smoked pork from your favorite BBQ joint.
• I used instant brown rice. Feel free to substitute instant white rice.
• If you want to use regular white or brown rice, you will need to increase the cooking time to get the rice cooked. I would simmer the soup with the regular rice the time the package suggests for cooking. You may need to add more broth if using regular rice.
• Can Pulled Pork Vegetable Soup be made in the crockpot? Yes! Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook for 6 to 8 hours on LOW. Add rice and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
• To make this a freezer meal – place all ingredients, except rice, in a gallon ziplock bag. Place in the freezer. When ready to cook, place the contents of the freezer bag into the slow cooker and cook for 6 to 8 hours on LOW. Add rice and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
• Can freeze leftovers in ziplock bags for later. To reheat, thaw, and reheat in the microwave, on the stovetop or in the slow cooker.
