Step 1

In a large heavy pot, add neutral oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cubed pork butt (1-2 inch cubes) and brown well on all sides, cooking for 8-10 minutes total.

Step 2

Add onion and garlic to the pot along with the pork. Add tomato paste and spices as well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until veggies soften.

Step 3

Add diced tomatoes, brown sugar and beef broth to pot. Bring to a simmer and scrape up any bits stuck to the pan.

Step 4

Cover pot and turn heat down to low. Simmer pork until it’s very tender, 75-90 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Step 5

Remove pork and shred. Add pork back to soup along with beans. Season soup with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Serve pork garnished with parsley.
