Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 1 14-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and carrots, then dice them into small, bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Keep them separate from the other vegetables.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground pork to the pot. Cook and crumble the pork until fully browned, about 6–8 minutes.
Stir in the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to season the meat and aromatics.
Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and sweet corn to the pot, stirring thoroughly to combine.
Pour in the chicken broth and canned diced tomatoes (with juices). Stir to distribute the liquid evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot, optionally with crusty bread on the side for dipping.
