Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1 pound ground pork (or ground turkey/chicken)
Aromatics & Oils
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
Vegetables
- 1 cup shredded carrots (or matchstick carrots)
- 4 cups coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage)
Liquids & Seasonings
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 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)
Garnishes
- 2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Meat: 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.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Sauté for an additional 2–3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add Broth and Vegetables: Pour in the chicken broth, then add the shredded carrots, coleslaw mix, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Simmer the Soup: Increase the heat and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and flavors meld together.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute ground pork with ground turkey or ground chicken for a leaner option.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- If you prefer a spicier soup, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of sriracha.
- The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- Add cooked rice or noodles to turn this soup into a heartier meal.
