Soup Beans with Roast Pork is my recipe of the day with the blogging group From Our Dinner Table. We group weekly to post new recipes on a variety of common topics. This week we’re featuring soup recipes. Glad you could join us!
My recipe today is a hearty and delicious soup using dried pinto beans and leftover roast pork shoulder. And using a pressure cooker or InstaPot makes easy and relatively quick work of cooking those dried beans.
I like to get creative with leftovers at times. As good as a dish may be, sometimes you don’t feel like eating the exact same thing again the next day. In this instance, we had enough pork roast left for a second meal but wanted soup. So I decided on bean soup with some simple yet flavorful seasonings.
The result was a satisfying meal-size soup. You could serve with crackers, cornbread, or tortillas if you like. All three would be at home with this soup.

This sounds very good! I need to get the pork back fat and now I have an excuse to cook the pork roast I’ve had in the freezer. It will be so good as the weather is getting cooler. Thank you for the recipe.
Sue, I don’t think I’ve ever used pinto beans in a soup before. What a great idea…and one that I really can’t wait to try out…especially now that soup season is in full-force!!!
