The ingredients needed to make Simple Cabbage & Bean Soup with Pork:
- Make ready 1 pound pork, cut into 1/2" cubes (I like shoulder, but you can use whatever cut you like.)
- Take 1/2 Tablespoon oil
- Make ready 1 small onion, diced
- Get 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into roughly 1/2"pieces (I find the peel can sometimes impart a slightly bitter flavor.)
- Make ready 1 large stem of celery, diced
- Prepare 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- Make ready 1 Tablespoon tomato paste + 1 teaspoon sugar OR 2 Tablespoons ketchup if you don't have tomato paste
- Prepare 1 bay leaf
- Prepare 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Get 8 cups liquid (any mixture of water and unsalted stock you like)
- Get 2.5 teaspoons kosher salt to start
- Prepare 1 Tablespoon apple cider or distilled white vinegar
- Get 6 cups chopped cabbage (roughly 1"pieces), about half a large head
- Get 2 (15 oz.) cans (OR one 28 oz. can) unsalted white beans, drained. (I used Northern. You can also use Navy or Cannellini.)
In a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the seasoned salt, cabbage, and onion.

Steps to make Simple Cabbage & Bean Soup with Pork:
- In a large pot or stockpot, bring the oil up to medium high heat and brown the pork.
- Add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic and saute for 2 or 3 minutes until the onions just start to turn translucent.
- Add bay leaf, thyme, and tomato paste (or ketchup), and give everything few good stirs. (This will give the tomato a chance to caramelize a bit.)
- Add liquid, salt, vinegar, and cabbage, give everything another few good stirs, turn the heat down to medium, and cook, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Turn heat down to medium low, add beans, stir them in, and cook, covered, for another 20 to 25 minutes. Adjust seasoning before the last 5 minutes of this cooktime to give all flavors a chance to meld.
- Enjoy! :)
