- 8 cups chicken stock*
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 cup water

Instructions
-
In a medium pot, add olive oil and ground pork. Cook pork on medium heat until brown. Stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spatula or spoon to transfer the pork to a separate small bowl, and set aside.
-
Add onion and carrots to the leftover olive oil and juice in the pan, and stir to combine. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, and sauté for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cabbage, stock, soy sauce, ground ginger and cooked pork, and stir to combine.

Continue cooking until the soup reaches a simmer. Stir in pepper and water, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the carrots and cabbage are nice and tender. Then taste and season the soup with a few generous pinches of salt as needed.

Serve warm, garnished with green onions and wonton strips or other desired toppings.
Recipe Notes
**I prefer to always use unsalted products and add in salt later. This is to avoid items being too salty. So I used unsalted chicken stock and low sodium soy sauce**
**The green onions and wonton strips are used as garnish and are optional, however, I TOTALLY think they make the dish, so don't think they're optional and get them!**
**I found the wonton strips by the salad dressings and toppings. **
**Feel free to use other meat as a substitute for the pork, and add in any veggies you would like! **
**It's best if you let the soup sit a few hours to let all the flavors come together.**
