5-Ingredient Carnitas Soup

This 5-Ingredient Carnitas Soup is super-easy to make with leftover pork (or chicken) carnitas, potatoes, and salsa verde. I highly recommend loading it up with lots of toppings too, such as arugula, avocado, cilantro and jalapeño peppers. It's the perfect Mexican dinner that's easy to make on the stovetop, or in the Crock Pot (slow cooker) or Instant Pot (pressure cooker). And it's naturally gluten-free! | Gimme Some Oven
