Pork three-bean soup

This recipe is brought to you in partnership with Randall Beans.

I wanted to share this 20 Minute Pork Three-Bean Soup I made for Randall Beans a while ago. I love this recipe because it is the easiest, quickest ''Cooking 101" recipe possible, yet it makes a good hearty, healthy soup.

Seriously, anyone can make this soup from scratch and there is absolutely nothing tricky about it. Even if you are a seasoned cook, it is always good to have recipes like this in your arsenal, so that on busy days you can have dinner ready in 20 minutes. Most of the ingredients are ones that you have in your pantry or freezer, and you'll just need to pick up some pork and green beans on the way home. Easy peasy!

Excellent winter soup dear Kate! We love beans here in Greece (fasolada, a bean soup is considered to be the "national food"), especially when they're combined with pork, so you do realize how much we're gonna enjoy this one! Loved it, great job! Have an amazing day! xoxoxo

What a coincidence about the Greek soup with beans and pork! Also, the Russian word for beans is fasol', so that's a similarity there as well!
