The ingredients needed to make Simple Cabbage & Bean Soup with Pork:

  2. Take 1/2 Tablespoon oil
  3. Take 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. Prepare 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  7. Get 1 Tablespoon tomato paste + 1 teaspoon sugar OR 2 Tablespoons ketchup if you don't have tomato paste
  8. Make ready 1 bay leaf
  9. Get 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  10. Prepare 8 cups liquid (any mixture of water and unsalted stock you like)
  11. Prepare 2.5 teaspoons kosher salt to start
  12. Take 1 Tablespoon apple cider or distilled white vinegar
  13. Prepare 6 cups chopped cabbage (roughly 1"pieces), about half a large head
  14. Get 2 (15 oz.) cans (OR one 28 oz. can) unsalted white beans, drained. (I used Northern. You can also use Navy or Cannellini.)

Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet. 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.

Instructions 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.

I love this southern cabbage recipe because it creates tender, yet slightly firm cabbage that is full of flavor, even the juice left in the pot taste good! This is a very basic (but flavorful) cabbage recipe. If you wanna add a lil spunk to your cabbage throw in some sauteed onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and smoked meat.
