A nice, piquant soup - almost a meal in a bowl. If you find ground pork too fatty, buy a piece of lean pork (maybe a tenderloin) and cut it in very find dice.

1 lb ground lean pork
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 1/4 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon beef base
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
3 cups water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 cups bean sprouts
Directions:
1. Brown pork in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Remove pork and drain, reserving 1 tablespoons fat.
3. Over medium-high heat, saute peppers, onion, mushrooms and garlic in reserved fat, for two or three minutes.
4. Combine soup base, ginger and crushed chilies, then add water gradually, stirring well to blend.
5. Stir in soy sauce and pour over vegetables.
6. Add cooked pork and bring to a boil.
7. Add bean sprouts and simmer, covered, for three minutes.
