well trying to figure out which wine would go good with mixed soup beans(pinto & great northern) and cornbread
oh seasoned with a good chunk of good pork
Sounds like the start of a good soup. This is what I'd do... I'd take start by boiling the beans in a small pot.
In a large pot, with a bit of oil at the bottom, heat to medium. Throw some salt and pepper on the pork chunk. Place it into the hot oil. If you like heat, now would be the time to throw something hot into the oil, part of a fresh chili or a tbsp of your fav hot sauce.
Don't forget about the beans. When they are done, remove from heat. We will add them with the veggies.
Fry that pork roast on all sides, at least 2 mins per side to get a nice browning. Then add some hot water, maybe a 2-3 pints, depending on the size of your pot. Lower temp on stove, and simmer covered for 90 mins or so.
Take some vegetables... I like carrots, celery, and onion in my soup. You should also add the beans at this time. I would likely add some fresh garlic as well if I had it. If you have some chicken stock, that would be a good addition at this time. Any fresh herbs you may have growing, or whatever spices you normally use will now make this soup yours.
Top up the water to a level that makes a good consistency, and simmer for another 90 mins or so. You will have a beautiful soup to go with the cornbread.
