hi its Michelle Tanner from nom nom paleo and today I'm gonna show you how to make comfort in a bowl it's my pork and napa cabbage soup and it's a recipe that I've craved for my mom who never gives me her recipes but I kind of cobbled it together from stuff I remember back when I was a kid and stuff I know now about who mommy it's got some napa cabbage in it it's got pork in it it's got dried shitake mushrooms in it so it's delicious so grab a large pot and put it over medium heat and spoon in some of your favorite cooking fat and when the fat is simmering toss in a diced onion and a sprinkle of salt you're gonna saute the onions until they're soften but don't go crazy you don't have to wait till they're all caramelized or anything like because who has time for that then add your ground pork you don't have to do pork if you like Turkey go ahead and do ground turkey but I like pork so there on your ground pork and break it up with a spatula and then you stir in your sliced mushrooms and another sprinkle of salt so for those of you who don't know dried shitake mushrooms are the best thing ever so they come dried but you soak em in a bowl for about half hour to an hour and they become soft again but these puppies have so much umami you will be amazed and they taste so much better than the fresh so if you have some you know you should throw them in your soup so cook the pork in the mushrooms until the meat is no longer pink and the shiitakes are nice and tender then plop in some minced garlic and cook only until it's fragrant so as soon as you can kind of smell the garlic you're about done now pour in your broth and crank up the heat to high so you bring it all up to a boil and this is when you dump in your vegetables you dump in your napa cabbage or carrots and potato and then you bring the soup back to a boil and don't worry about cramming too many vegetables in there because they'll all cook down and the more vegetables the better so lower the heat to medium or medium low to maintain a simmer and then partially cover the soup with the lid leaving a crack so it doesn't boil over simmer the soup stirring occasionally until the vegetables are easily pierced with a fork and you taste it for seasoning and then you ladle it up oh it looks like it's already smells really good now I just have to serve it so you can garnish it however you like I like to put scallions on I put cilantro on it unless you hate it and there you have it my pork and napa cabbage seats comfort and umami in a ball .
