Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Soup
Ingredients2 pounds bone-in pork chop
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1 can chicken soup
1 can mushroom soup
1½ cups no-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons dry thyme
2 teaspoons dry parsley
½ onion, small diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, rough chopped (optional)
Directions1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Coat in flour; tap off the excess.
2. Put a sauté pan on high heat. Add in oil. When oil becomes hot, add in pork chops and brown both sides. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan as this will steam the pork chops rather than browning them. Set aside.
3. Add in onions and garlic. If you need to add a little oil to the pan, go ahead and do so. Sauté for 3-5 minutes on medium low until onions are tender.
4. When onions are tender, add in chicken broth to deglaze the pan. When all the bits at the bottom of the pan have lifted, turn off heat. Pour into a 6-quart slow cooker.
5. Add in mushroom soup, chicken soup, thyme, parsley, onion, and garlic. Mix well. Add in pork chops, pushing them into the soup. Allow to cook for 3 hours on low.
Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley. Serve!
For a great midweek meal, serve either one of these great recipes with mashed potatoes or rice and a green steamed vegetable on the side, and enjoy!
