Is there anything more comforting and soothing than a big ‘ol bowl of hot soup? It’s no coincidence that January, which is the coldest month of the year, is also National Soup Month. To celebrate, we’ve hand-picked some of our favorite new soup recipes… all starring Tender Belly pork!
This amazingly hearty soup has a little of just about everything in it (Tender Belly bacon!). And it’s guaranteed to nurse you back from even the deadliest of hangovers.

And this soup is off the charts when it comes to oomph factor.” Unbelieveably creamy, but believe it or not, there’s no cream added.
