"Jolk" Thai pork soup

I know its almost summer, but I am not sure the weather knows yet.  With this cool rainy weather, its nice to curl up with a nice warm bowl of soup. Ahh comfort food.  This recipe was given to me by Maggie, thanks!  I love it for three reasons: its delicious, its fast and easy, and I don't have to measure! I guess that's technically 4 but who's counting!  Spoons up!

1 pound ground pork
1 bunch cilantro chopped
1 container sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 cup chicken stock (or 1 can)
1 quart cold water
1 pepper chili or jalapeño sliced
1 bunch green onions sliced and with some greens
grated ginger to taste
vinegar to taste

In large pot mix cold water, fish sauce, cilantro, mushrooms, chicken stock and ground pork.  Turn on the heat until pork is cooked and.  As it heats the pork will break apart, but stir some to break up large chunks.  That's it!  When dishing up your helping, add peppers, onions, ginger, vinegar and more fish sauce to your tasting.  I love the warm zing of the cilantro and vinegar. Yummy!
