Advice

Instead of wine, you can use a tablespoon of vinegar. Instead of pork, you can also use chicken, beef …, whatever you have left. Nutmeg and thyme also pair excellently with soups made from beef leftovers. If you decide to use these spices, add half a teaspoon of nutmeg or half a teaspoon of thyme.
