The best Country Gravy Mix out there
By Mike Thayer
Motivated by the Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe on the back of the Pioneer Country Gravy Mix package, I put together a quick mirepoix cheese soup. I didn’t have any broccoli on hand, so I came up with this:
Merepoix cheese soup w/pork
Ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup carrots, sliced
- 1/2 cup celery, sliced
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 2 leftover pork chops, cubed
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 package Pioneer Country Gravy Mix, prepared as directed
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup milk (optional)
Directions:
Creamy, cheesy, pork & veggie goodness…
Warm up the olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Dump in the carrots, celery and onion. This is the merepoix, equal portions of those veggies cut in similar size. Cook the merepoix until softened a bit, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add the cubed pork, and minced garlic, stir to incorporate. After about a minute, add the prepared gravy mix, cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, stir to blend everything together. Add the optional milk to bring the soup to desired consistency, salt and pepper to taste.
This recipe is really flexible. Diced potato is a nice add, you can replace the pork with chicken and the soup takes on heat really well if you like to kick things up a notch. Crumbled bacon is a nice topper! Not only is this soup a great cold weather comfort food, served up with toasted garlic bread, it’s a hearty meal! It’s also easily convertible to the crock pot. After softening the merepoix, put all ingredients in the crock pot and let it get all happy on the low setting. About four hours later you’ll have a great lunch or dinner!
