PORK NOODLE SOUP
My daughter created this soup when she needed to use up some leftover pork. You can use more water for a thinner soup or less water for a noodle dish. It's good with mushroom flavored ramen noodles, too. -Eleanor Niska, Twin Falls, Idaho

PORK NOODLE SOUP WITH GINGER AND TOASTED GARLIC
This soup, based mostly on pantry staples, can be made with a variety of proteins, noodles and greens depending on what you have on hand. Snow pea leaves are exceptional here, which can be found in many Asian grocers year-round, but spinach, Swiss chard or other dark leafy green would work well. Don't skip the raw onion, the soup's finished complexity depends on it.

Steps:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium.
- Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the slices become nicely toasted and golden brown, 2 or 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove garlic and set aside.
- Add pork and red-pepper flakes to the pot, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break up large pieces, until the pork is well browned and in small bite-size pieces, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, soy sauce and 4 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes or so, until the pork is very tender and the broth tastes impossibly good. (Give it a taste and season with salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes and soy sauce, if you want.) Add pea leaves, half of the onion slices, and all of the ginger. Stir to wilt the leaves.
- To serve, ladle soup over noodles and top with remaining onion, cilantro and toasted garlic.

- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the foundation of this soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is flavorful and has a rich body.

- Add vegetables at the end: Vegetables should be added to the soup towards the end of the cooking process so that they retain their crispness and flavor.
- Season to taste: Once the soup is finished, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.
