To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can cook simple cabbage & bean soup with pork using 14 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.

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

Chop the cabbage into roughly bite-size pieces. Melt the butter in a large saucepan or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Steps to make Simple Cabbage & Bean Soup with Pork:
  1. In a large pot or stockpot, bring the oil up to medium high heat and brown the pork.
  2. Add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic and saute for 2 or 3 minutes until the onions just start to turn translucent.
  3. 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.)
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Enjoy! :)

Add the cabbage, garlic, red pepper flakes, and the salt. It might seem like too much cabbage for the pan, but as it cooks, the cabbage will wilt down. Red Cabbage: Red cabbage is high in vitamin C and iron, making it an ultra-healthy choice. And, I mean, that color! 😍 Vinegar: Use apple cider or red wine vinegar to soften the cabbage and bring that distinctive flavor.; Seasonings: Finish it off with a quick blend of spices. I use sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper, but feel free to throw in your favorite.
