To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have simple cabbage & bean soup with pork using 14 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Simple Cabbage & Bean Soup with Pork:
  1. Take 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. Get 1 small onion, diced
  4. Get 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. Prepare 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. Prepare 1 bay leaf
  9. Get 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  10. Make ready 8 cups liquid (any mixture of water and unsalted stock you like)
  11. Prepare 2.5 teaspoons kosher salt to start
  12. Get 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.)

Cut the cabbage in half from its top down through its core. Add mustard seeds, dhal, cumin seeds and red chillies. When the seeds start to pop, add the curry leaves. Stir for about a minute then.

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! :)

When the seeds start to pop, add the curry leaves. Stir for about a minute then. If you're using pancetta, add it to the pan, turn up the heat and fry for a few mins more until turning golden brown. Cut the cabbage into quarters, and then cut out the core. Slice each quarter and then cut it crosswise to create thin shreds of cabbage.
