Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium pot over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add 2 slices of ginger and 3 smashed garlic cloves, allowing them to infuse their flavors for 2 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add ½ pound of lean ground beef to the pot. Cook the beef, breaking it apart, until it is no longer pink and sizzling, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 can (6 ounces) of tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the paste to caramelize slightly.
- Carefully pour in 6 cups of low-sodium chicken stock along with 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ⅛ teaspoon of ground white pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, stir to combine, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Add 3 packs of fresh enoki mushrooms and the whites of 2 scallions to the pot. Stir gently and simmer for at least 15 minutes.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed, then ladle it into bowls. Garnish with the green parts of the scallions and serve hot.

Notes
For best texture, add any fresh enoki mushrooms just before serving if you plan to enjoy the soup over multiple days.
