One of my neighbors brought me a plate of some tough ribs, they went
into the trash as ribs is my least favorite part of pork. The plate
included mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheese sauce.

I'm sorry to hear about the tough ribs. (There's not much meat on those
things, unless you go with "country ribs" which are not technically
ribs). There's no reason for them to be tough other than they were not
cooked correctly (low, slow, indirect heat). You didn't mention it but
I've never been a fan of ribs slathered in BBQ sauce. I gather you ate
the mashed potatoes and broccoli. :)

I like pork loin steaks. I almost bought a package of them last week.
$2.99/lb, two per package. Thick cut, intended for grilling. They were
huge pork steaks! I'd have had to cut them in half (problematic given
the bone) and wrapped and frozen three of them. My freezer is getting
full. It's time for me to start using up what is already in the freezer
rather than add to it.

That would depend upon if they were sauced. Dry ribs, sure, they could
work as soup bones. Bean soup, perhaps.

We watch for meat sales at our local grocery . And I buy a whole pork
loin which I slice myself . Same with pork butts , except I have the
butcher slice them on his bandsaw for bone-in steaks . They usually have
a massive sale every March , I'm hoping that I can get either a New York
strip or rib-eye strip this year to restock my steak shelf .

You put a dead animal in your soup and then you don't even name the
soup after it?

Positive. He can't read and she has no idea this place even exists.
Frankly, she wouldn't be interested if she knew.

That would have been one serving of soup as ribs are mostly bone.
They would not have been worth the effort, and I don't think barbecue
sauce would have been all that tasty in a small bowl of soup.

I'm not sure how she is cooking them, but she definitely needs to
start at least 6 hours before she is cooking them now.

Why should we? If there's 4 ounces of dead animal and 16 ounces of
beans, it should be called bean soup.

Although by that criterion, almost any soup would be "water soup". ;)

If you made a soup from a human hand and a kilo of mushrooms, would
you serve it as mushroom soup? :)
