Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over high heat.
- Add the pulled pork and cook for 1 minute until parts of it are browned, then remove from the saucepan. Do this step even if you are using shredded chicken or another meat.
- Add garlic and onion, sauté until onion becomes translucent (2 minutes), then add the capsicum (bell pepper) and cook for 1 minute until softened.
- Return the pulled pork into the saucepan and add all other ingredients except salt and pepper. If you are making this ahead to FREEZE, see below for instructions.
- Stir to scrap the brown bits from the pulled pork off the bottom of the pan to mix in with the soup flavours.
- Bring to boil then turn down heat slightly and allow to simmer rapidly for 3 minutes so the flavours can come together. If you are using crushed tinned tomatoes instead of passata, let it simmer for a further 5 minutes to let the tomatoes breakdown a bit. If the soup gets too thick to your liking, just add a bit more water.
- Do a taste test, then season with salt and pepper. It is important to season last because different stock brands have different levels of saltiness.
- Serve with toppings of choice. The more toppings = more delicious!

BLACK BEAN TACO SOUP
This is a hearty soup/stew that is great to make on a chilly day. We usually have it for lunch, but with the addition of a simple salad (such as one consisting of letture, red onion, yellow bell pepper and topped with a basic vinaigrette), cornbread and a caramel flan for dessert, it would make a delicious dinner meal as well.
