    Use up your leftover pork tenderloin for this Easy Leftover Pork Soup! Chinese five spice is the flavor bomb in this delicious soba noodle soup. Top with a soft-boiled egg for pure perfection!

    One thing is certain, when you make this easy pork soup you will not be slaving in the kitchen all day! I used the leftover pork from my Chinese Five Spice Pork Tenderloin recipe to flavor the dish and provide the protein. Just make the broth, add in your veggies (shiitake and oyster mushrooms, garlic, carrots, and onions) and the flavorings. Layer it with yummy soba noodles and top it off with the pork and a soft-boiled egg. It's even better tasting the next day!  So, so good!  Really healthy Asian noodle soup, no lie!
