1 1/2 Pound Pork Neck
To Taste salt and pepper
1 Large yellow onion, diced
As Needed olive oil
2 Teaspoon hot sauce
2 Can Northwest Beans
1 Teaspoon cornstarch
1 Quart chicken stock
3 Slices bacon
1 Tablespoon parsley, chopped

Step

  • 1

    Start your Traeger on Smoke.

  • 2

    Season pork neck with salt and pepper. Place pork on grill grate and smoke for 2 hours, or longer depending on smoke preference. Cool pork.

  • 3

    Over medium heat, add diced onions to large pot with oil or butter and caramelize onions. Season onions with salt and pepper.

  • 4

    After onions have caramelized, add pork neck, salt and hot sauce to the pot. Add enough water to cover all of the meat. Bring soup to a boil then drop to a simmer.

  • 5

    Let simmer for 3-4 hours with the lid off so some of the water evaporates. When it has simmered for 3 hours, pull out pork and cool. Once meat has cooled, pull meat off the bone and shred.

  • 6

    Add shredded pork back to the stock, along with Northwest beans and put back on medium heat.

  • 7

    Mix water and corn starch together then add to stock. Stir constantly, once it starts to thicken lower temperature. Garnish soup with chopped bacon and parsley. Serve, enjoy!
