Ingredients

• 300 grams lean pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 medium, peeled and sliced carrots
• 2 diced celery stalks
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
• 150 grams egg noodles
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 3 stalks, sliced green onions
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Trim any visible fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin strips.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork slices and cook until they are just browned. Remove them from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Add the garlic and grated ginger, stirring for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions until they are al dente.

Step 7

Return the pork slices back into the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for another 5 minutes to ensure the pork is cooked through.

Step 8

Stir in the baby spinach and green onions until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro.
