Ingredients

Protein

  • 1 lb ground pork (or substitute with ground chicken)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small thumb ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 green cabbage, sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp green onion, chopped (for garnish)

Liquids & Seasonings

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or substitute lime juice for AIP)
  • Optional: Sriracha to taste (omit for AIP)

Instructions

  1. Cook the protein: Using a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground pork, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Once cooked through, set the pork aside and discard any rendered fat.
  2. Sauté aromatics and vegetables: In the same pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Then add shredded carrots and continue to sauté for a few minutes until they start to soften. Add the sliced cabbage and stir for a few minutes allowing it to barely soften.
  3. Combine ingredients and simmer: Pour in the chicken broth along with the cooked ground pork and coconut aminos. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to let it simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted and tender.
  4. Add final seasonings and serve: Stir in the rice vinegar at the end of cooking. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped green onions and optionally a drizzle of Sriracha for added heat unless following the AIP diet.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground pork with ground chicken for a leaner option.
  • For an Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) compliant version, omit the Sriracha and substitute rice vinegar with lime juice.
  • If you prefer a richer broth, use homemade chicken broth or bone broth.
  • To make this soup vegetarian, substitute ground pork with crumbled tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth instead.
  • Do not discard all the rendered fat if desired; you can leave a small amount to sautĂ© the aromatics for extra flavor.
