Pork Tenderloin Soup

March 12, 2012

Packed with protein, vegetables and tons of flavor from paprika and a bit of hot sauce. Great for a weeknight dinner and even better as leftovers the next day.

I think pork tenderloin is one of those forgotten meats, this one happened to be on sale for $6.99 and it made this soup very filing.
