Chef’s Recommendations

For a healthier option, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of pork. You can also add some chopped bok choy, mushrooms, or bean sprouts to the broth for extra nutrition and flavor. And don’t forget to serve this soup with some hot chili oil or sriracha for an extra kick of spice!
