Description
Egg Roll Soup is a comforting and flavorful soup that captures all the delicious flavors of an egg roll in a bowl. This easy-to-make soup is filled with ground pork, cabbage, carrots, and Asian-inspired seasonings.
Ingredients
For the Soup:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground pork (or ground turkey)
- 1 yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 small green cabbage (shredded, about 4 cups)
- 2 carrots (julienned or shredded)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
For Garnish:
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add diced onion, garlic, and ginger and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and soft.
- Stir in shredded cabbage and carrots, and cook for another 3–4 minutes until slightly wilted.
- Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a low-carb version, use ground chicken or turkey and add extra veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3–4 days and taste even better the next day.
