Pork Edamame Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Trim fat from meat. Cut meat into 1-inch pieces. In a large skillet brown meat, half at a time, in hot oil. Drain off fat.
• Place meat in a 3-1/2- or 4 -1/2-quart slow cooker. Stir in chicken broth, edamame, water chestnuts, sweet pepper, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, crushed red pepper, and garlic.
• Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 7 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Skim off fat. Stir in ramen noodles (reserve seasoning packet for another use). Cover and cook for 5 minutes more.

Steps:

• 1. Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil, the scallion whites, and garlic. Cook until softened, 1 minute. Add 7 cups of water, the edamame, and potato; season with salt and cover. Once the soup boils, remove the lid and cook until the edamame and potato are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly and then carefully blend with an immersion until smooth (or in a traditional blender in batches). Keep warm.
• 2. Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then add the mushrooms, ham, if using, and scallion greens. Cook until the mushrooms brown, about 3 minutes, and then add the spinach, stirring until it wilts. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper.
• 3. When ready to serve, gently reheat the soup and add rice wine vinegar. Ladle soup into 4 bowls and spoon some of the mushrooms, ham, and spinach into each bowl. Drizzle in the hot sauce as desired. Serve.

Steps:

• In a pan over medium heat, saute the onion and potato in the oil, stirring frequently. Cover and allow it to soften for about 4 minutes, until they have both softened. Stir to prevent the mixture from sticking and burning. Add the beans and the vegetable stock.
• Put the lid on and simmer on a medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the beans are tender.
• Puree in a food processor or with a hand blender. Stir in the creme fraiche, reheat gently without boiling and serve.
