Protein and Seasoning
- 1 lb ground pork (substitute ground chicken if preferred)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables and 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 and Condiments
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (substitute lime juice for AIP)
- Optional: Sriracha to taste (omit for AIP)
- Brown the Meat: In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground pork, lightly seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook until fully browned, then set aside and carefully discard the rendered fat.
- Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Using the same pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing for about 4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in the shredded carrots and cook for a few more minutes until they begin to soften. Add the sliced cabbage strips and sauté briefly just until the cabbage starts wilting.
- Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, add the cooked ground meat back into the pot, and stir in coconut aminos. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer gently for 20 to 25 minutes until the cabbage is fully wilted and tender.
- Finish the Soup: Stir in the rice vinegar (or lime juice if following AIP guidelines) and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with chopped green onions. Add Sriracha optionally for those who want extra spice. Enjoy warm.
