Pork Chop Soup


I needed to get rid of the leftover pork chops we had so I decided to make a soup out of it. It came out pretty well!

2 lb of Swanson's beef broth
Seasoning salt & pepper to taste
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon minced onion
left over pork chops
1/2 package of wheat spaghetti sticks
2 eggs
1 cup water

First I dumped the whole batch of Swanson beef broth into a big pot. Next I started shredding the left over pork chops into the pot along with the cup of water. You may want to get rid of the fat on the pork chops. I kept the fat to add some flavor to the soup, and took the fatty pieces out after I had cooked the soup. Add all the spices and stir them in. Bring the soup to a slow boil, stirring occasionally. Let the soup do this for about five minutes. Next you'll want to add the spaghetti (I used whole wheat but anything would be fine), broken in half. Put the lid on the pot and let the noodles get soft. While that is going on, crack your eggs in a separate bowl and whisk the eggs. Slowly pour the eggs into the soup and stir them in. After the noodles are tender enough, you're ready to eat!

Remember to take out the fatty pieces of the meat after the soup has been cooked.
A good addition would be carrots and/or celery (I had neither so I had to manage without).
