Description

Egg Roll Soup is a flavorful and nourishing one-pot dish inspired by the savory filling of classic egg rolls. This gluten-free, paleo, and Whole30-compliant soup features ground pork, shredded cabbage, carrots, and aromatic garlic and ginger in a savory broth enhanced with coconut aminos and sesame oil.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork: Adds protein and rich flavor
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil: Used for sautéing the aromatics
  • 4 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated): Adds mild onion flavor and freshness
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced: Adds aromatic depth
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated: Brings warmth and classic Asian flavor
  • 1 cup shredded carrots: Adds natural sweetness and texture
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage: The base vegetable that adds heartiness
  • 4 cups chicken broth: Forms the soup’s flavorful base
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos: Soy-free umami-rich seasoning
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil: Adds a nutty, authentic finish
  • 1 tsp sea salt (or to taste): Enhances overall flavor
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish): Fresh garnish for serving


Instructions

  1. Heat avocado oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the white parts of the green onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5–6 minutes.
  3. Stir in the shredded carrots and cabbage. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
  5. Add coconut aminos, sesame oil, and salt. Stir to combine and simmer for another 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the sliced green onion tops. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
  • Coconut aminos can be replaced with tamari or soy sauce if not on Whole30 or paleo diets.
  • The soup tastes even better the next day — great for meal prep.
  • Add a soft-boiled egg or cauliflower rice for a heartier bowl.
  • Adjust salt to taste depending on your broth’s sodium content.
