Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 3 medium zucchini, spiralized
• 2 cups spinach leaves
• 1 lime, juiced
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by trimming any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork slices and brown them on each side for about 3-4 minutes. Once browned, remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, fish sauce, and add the grated ginger. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and return the browned pork slices to the pot. Let simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Add the spiralized zucchini to the soup and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the zucchini is tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Stir in the spinach leaves and cook for 1 minute until wilted.

Step 9

Season the soup with lime juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
