Egg Roll Soup is a flavorful and comforting soup inspired by the classic egg roll filling, featuring ground meat, fresh vegetables, and a savory broth enriched with peanut butter and ginger. This hearty and healthy soup combines tender ground meat, crunchy cabbage, and aromatic spices, all simmered to perfection in a rich bone or vegetable broth, making it a perfect meal for any day.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Oils

  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil or unrefined avocado oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs. ground chicken, turkey, pork, or beef

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 large sweet onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 large green cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2-inch knob fresh ginger, grated on the microplane

Sauces and Broth

  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos, tamari, Braggs liquid aminos, or low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower butter
  • 8 cups bone broth or vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil and Cook the Meat: Heat your sesame oil in a large heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook, mincing it as it cooks. Once the meat is no longer pink, drain any excess grease for a healthier soup base.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Stir in the diced onion, carrots, and minced garlic into the pot with the cooked meat. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften and release their aroma.
  3. Add Cabbage and Flavorings: Add the chopped cabbage, grated fresh ginger, coconut aminos (or your choice of soy sauce alternative), and the peanut butter. Continue cooking while stirring occasionally for about 6 minutes, until the cabbage softens and the flavors meld together.
  4. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the bone broth or vegetable broth, increasing the heat to bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have fully combined.
  5. Serve: Optionally top the soup with sesame seeds and sliced green onions to add an extra layer of flavor and texture. Serve the soup hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute the ground meat with a choice that suits your preference or dietary needs, including poultry or beef.
  • For a nut-free version, use sunflower butter instead of peanut or other nut butters.
  • Adjust the seasoning with salt or additional soy sauce according to taste since coconut aminos and similar products vary in salt content.
  • Adding fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions before serving can enhance the freshness and flavor of the soup.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
