Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground pork (or ground chicken)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 1 small green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or lime juice for AIP)
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped for garnish
- Optional: Sriracha to taste (omit for AIP)
Instructions
- In a large pot, brown the ground pork over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Once cooked, set aside and drain any excess fat.
- In the same pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing for 4 minutes until softened and aromatic.
- Stir in the shredded carrots and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the cabbage and stir, cooking until it just begins to soften.
- Pour in the chicken broth, add the cooked pork, and stir in the coconut aminos. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook for 20-25 minutes until the cabbage is fully wilted.
- Add rice vinegar or lime juice at the end, stirring to combine. Season to taste and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For AIP compliance, substitute rice vinegar with lime juice and omit Sriracha.
- To make it vegan, replace pork with crumbled tofu or mushrooms, and use vegetable broth.
- This soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
