Garlic Parmesan Chops Soup

Garlic Parmesan Chops Soup

As promised from yesterday’s post, this is the Garlic Parmesan Chops Soup that is so good! Bart was so impressed, and the pot was instantly all gone! So excited to add a new soup.

Ingredients

Pork Chops (I used boneless)

Seasoning

Bacon grease (or oil)

Butter

Seasoning

Parmesan Sauce

2 c. heavy cream

2 c. parmesan

Garlic

Spinach (chopped)

Fresh mushrooms (chopped)

Onion (chopped)

1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes

Addition

Potatoes washed and cubed (with or without skin)

2 c. cheddar

2 cartons of chicken broth (you can make your own or use water and chicken bouillon cubes)

Cream of Mushroom Soup

How to Make

In an electric skillet, pour some bacon grease (or oil) and butter. I pounded my chops and seasoned them well with my seasoning mix. Fry them up. Once done, remove them from the pan. Again, these were leftovers from last night, so all I did was chop them up into bite-size pieces.

Place all of the parmesan sauce ingredients in the same skillet the chops were in. Stir until thickened. This was, again, leftovers from the night before.

Soup Process

Get your chicken broth boiling, and add some seasoning. Put in your washed, cubed potatoes and let them boil. Once they were done, I scooped them into a bowl, leaving the chicken broth water in the pot.

I added the cream of mushroom soup, parmesan sauce, and cheddar to that pot. I whisked that all into the water to get all the lumps out. Then, I placed the cubed leftover pork chops and let them simmer to warm and soften them up. Once that was done, I added my potatoes back in.

So.  Freaking.  Good.

Garlic Pork Chops with Parmesan Sauce

Here’s another winner that has quickly become a family favorite—Garlic Pork Chops with Parmesan Sauce. This dish was not only easy to make, but it also made a fantastic soup the next day! Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post, where I turn this dish into a soup my family loves. Edited to add: The soup was a huge hit too! I absolutely love being able to cook once and enjoy two completely different meals. It’s the perfect way to stretch ingredients and minimize time in the kitchen.

Ingredients:

  • Pork Chops (I used boneless, but any cut will work)
  • Seasoning (your choice—garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper)
  • Bacon grease (or oil of your choice)
  • Butter

For the Parmesan Sauce:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups parmesan cheese
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Spinach (chopped, a handful or more to taste)
  • Fresh mushrooms (chopped)
  • Onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Pork Chops:

    • In an electric skillet, add bacon grease (or oil) and butter.
    • Season the pork chops well with your seasoning mix and fry them up until golden brown on each side. Once cooked through, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

  2. Make the Parmesan Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, garlic, spinach, mushrooms, onion, and red pepper flakes (if using).
    • Stir the ingredients together until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. If you’d like to keep the chops warm, place them back into the skillet and simmer on low. Alternatively, you can serve the sauce on the side, spooning it over each chop when ready.

  3. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once the pork chops are cooked and the sauce is ready, plate your chops and pour the parmesan sauce generously over the top.
    • If you want to take it further, double the batch so you have leftovers for a delicious soup the next day!

Final Thoughts:

This dish is not only simple to make but also incredibly versatile. The Garlic Pork Chops with Parmesan Sauce are rich and flavorful on their own, but turning the leftovers into soup the next day takes it to a whole new level! It’s the perfect example of how cooking once can give you two completely different meals, saving you time while keeping things exciting in the kitchen. Enjoy the best of both worlds with this tasty and efficient recipe!
