Broc Cheddar Soup of Death Porkfecta



This recipe breaks about 17 common sense rules of cooking, so I recommend not doing the following:

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced carrots
2-3 ribs diced Bok Choy
1 lb. frozen cooked chopped broccoli
1 diced white onion

Soften up carrots, onion and bok choy, add broccoli. Dust with 1/4 cup flour and stir and simmer 2 minutes. Add 2 cups chicken stock. Hold off seasoning 'cause things are about to get more flavorful, fast.

PORK TIME
Cook up a pound of thick bacon and chop up half roughly and add to soup.
Dice a 1 lb. ham steak and brown in cast iron.
Quarter and dice 2 smoked sausage
Brown 1 lb hot bulk sausage, add half to soup.

Simmer for about 20 minutes.

BORDERLINE INSANITY
Cook and shell 1 lb. medium shrimp, add to soup
Reassure yourself that this is all perfectly logical and fine
Reduce heat, add 3 cups cream
Grate 3 cups cheddar and stir in.

I garnished with green onion and enjoyed very much with toasted sliced ciabatta rolls. Yeah, this is crazy. Yeah, this is awesome.

Whew. OMG. Yup. YUP. Yeah. Hoo.

About half way through making this, I thought man, this could go either way. May end up tossing the whole mess. It really is so rich and flavorful and smack dab perfect with toast on a Christmas day. I'll bag these up in SMALL SERVING baggies with a roll for luxurious lunches. About 5 bites and you're full :)
