Or in French, Potage de Barbeque. I still had all this smoked pork leftover but I really wanted soup. What to do? BBQ soup! It turns out my experimental recipe is a great idea for leftover smoke pork, chicken or beef brisket. This soup is very tasty and smoky with only a hint or essence of barbeque sauce. Not at all what you are thinking it would taste like. Trust me. Once you try it, you will be hooked. I used leftover smoked pulled pork here but any left over grilled or smoked meat will work.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups shredded smoked pork, beef brisket or chicken (trimmed of all fat, lean portions only)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 yellow squash, diced
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- 1/2 chipotle pepper in adobe, minced
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 32 oz beef stock
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite, I used Sweet Baby Rays)
- salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 3 green onions, chopped
- cheddar cheese, shredded
PREPARATION:
Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot, add the onions a cook for about two minutes. Add the garlic, zucchini, squash and the meat and cook until vegetables are tender about 4 minutes. Then add the beef stock, water, chipotle, thyme, sage, basil, lemon and barbeque sauce. Bring this to a boil then reduce to slow simmer and cook for about 15 – 20 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste then serve with shredded cheddar cheese and green oinions on top.
Serves 4 – 6

I love to eat my leftover BBQ as is but this soup idea is a good one. Just looking at your picture makes me hungry. I’m going to give it a try!

Most interesting recipe idea, and it looks so damn good.
What a great way to use some of the bbq leftovers we often have after a big cook.
Thanks for the idea!

This soup looks incredibly tasty! What a great idea to use leftover smoked pork. I have no problem eating soup during any season if they look this good.

The pork version was good but something tells me a beef brisket version would be even better.
Great recipe. I’ll keep this in mind the next time I have left over grilled meat.
