Ingredients

1 pound ground pork (or ground turkey/chicken)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup shredded carrots (or matchstick carrots)
4 cups coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork (or turkey/chicken) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5–7 minutes.
Step 2: Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Sauté for an additional 2–3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 3: Add the chicken broth, shredded carrots, coleslaw mix, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine all ingredients.
Step 4: Increase the heat and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Step 5: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner alternative to pork without sacrificing flavor.
Add a splash of hot sauce or more red pepper flakes for an extra spicy kick.
For a vegetarian version, substitute the meat with firm tofu crumbles and use vegetable broth.
Leftover soup can be enriched by stirring in cooked rice or noodles before serving.

Storage

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over medium heat, adding a little water or broth if the soup has thickened. This soup can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use pre-shredded cabbage instead of coleslaw mix?

Yes, pre-shredded cabbage works perfectly and is a convenient substitute if you don’t have coleslaw mix on hand.

Is it possible to make this soup gluten-free?

Absolutely. Use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative to keep the flavor while making the soup gluten-free.
