Chili Mac Ground Pork Soup

I would be grateful if you shared this post :-)

There is nothing like a hot bowl of soup on a cold winter evening. This chili mac ground pork soup is one of my son’s favorites. Pour some of this comforting hot soup in a bowl and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, cheese, and fresh cilantro.

I have to put an unsolicited plug for an organic meat CSA that we receive each month from Prather Ranch. (**I am not being compensated, nor have I received any free product. Cooking with this healthy fresh meat is so convenient.)

For several months we have paid for a subscription service and we get a box of meat each month. We get fun things like ground pork and beef, pork scallopini, many different cuts of steaks, roasts, free-range chicken, and even ribs.

Ground Pork Soup

Ground pork is as easy to use in recipes as ground beef, or ground turkey. It has a hearty flavor, but it is a little higher in fat than other ground meats. Ground pork is tender meat and I thought it would add a lot of extra flavor to this soup.

(I have created a few minced pork recipes besides this ground pork chili. If you are looking for more ground pork recipes, try these delicious Ground Pork Asian Lettuce Wraps or these Ground Pork Mini Meatballs.)

This ground pork chili recipe satisfies my son, who is in a constant state of growth…and yes, he is now 5’8 at only 13 years old! We are sharing one of his favorite soups, Ground Pork Chili Mac Soup. My son loves soup recipes that have a little spice, so this is a soup I make in bulk.

This ground pork is perfect to use in this macaroni soup.

How to make homemade chili mac ground pork soup:

How to cook gluten free macaroni and other kinds of pasta:

Note, when using gluten free macaroni for this soup recipe, there are some tips to make sure your pasta stays al-dente and doesn’t turn to mush. You can follow these steps to keep your pasta from getting mushy:

• Cook the pasta according to directions.
• Drain the pasta immediately into a colander. When pasta sits in a colander, it continues to cook!
• Dump the pasta in a bowl of ice water. This halts the cooking process so that your pasta stays firm.
