Shoulder Picnic

Pork shoulder picnic bone. Any soups or stews?

I made a great pork shoulder roast tonight and I have the enormous bone with some meat still on it. I'd hate to throw it out if there is any way I can make a soup or something out of it. I have just never heard of any pork soups or stews. Any suggestions?

Make up a vegetable stock.
Peel and dice a couple of medium carrots and onions and several sticks of celery.
Heat gently in a little oil for several minutes until they are soft and add cold water and pork bone and simmer for an hour or until the meat falls from the bone.
Note if the bone is too big to be covered it will need to be turned.
Remove bone and pull off meat and shred with a couple of forks until it is cool enough to handle and cut into pieces. Return to pot
Add some of your favourite mixed veges bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes
Season to taste and serve with crusty bread. (garlic bread optional)
