Hearty Pork and Potato Rice Soup

1.In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

2.Add the diced pork to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

3.Stir in the diced potatoes, rice, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

4.Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice and potatoes are tender.

5.Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

6.Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
