QUICK PORK STIR FRY SOUP
Why I Love This Recipe
I wanted a light soup - broth-based, lots of vegetables, and a little meat for flavor. This soup is full of flavor. Plus, it's quick! (I may use rice noodles next time.)
Ingredients You'll Need
1/4 pound boneless pork loin, 1-inch slices
1 to 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, quartered and sliced (optional)
1-1/2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced or chopped
1 to 2 stalks celery, diced
1 carrot, peeled and shredded
3 - 14-1/2 ounce cans lowfat chicken broth
1-1/2 cups fresh spinach, chopped (approximate)
salt
pepper
2 Tablespoons cornstarch, optional (mixed with a little cold water)
Directions
Season pork loin slices with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in Dutch oven. Braise pork loin slices until nicely brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from pan. Set aside to cool. Then, dice.
Sauté mushrooms, celery, and carrot until tender-crisp. Add chicken broth. Bring to boil. Stir in spinach and diced pork loin. Thicken with cornstarch, if desired. Serve immediately.
