Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground pork (substitute with ground chicken as desired)

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small thumb ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 green cabbage, sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp green onion, chopped (for topping)

Liquids & Seasonings

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or lime juice for AIP)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Sriracha to taste (omit for AIP)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Brown the pork: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground pork and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. Once done, remove the cooked pork from the pot and discard any excess fat.
  2. Sauté the aromatics and vegetables: In the same pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook while stirring for about 4 minutes, until the onion is softened and fragrant. Add the shredded carrots and continue to sauté for a few more minutes until they soften slightly. Then, add the sliced cabbage and stir for several minutes, allowing the cabbage to begin to wilt but still retain some texture.
  3. Simmer the soup: Pour in the chicken broth, cooked ground pork, and coconut aminos. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until the cabbage is wilted and tender.
  4. Finish with vinegar and season: Stir in the rice vinegar (or lime juice if using) to add brightness to the soup. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. If desired, add Sriracha for a spicy kick, keeping in mind it should be omitted for the AIP diet.
  5. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish each serving with chopped green onions. Enjoy your warm and nourishing egg roll soup!

Notes

  • Substitute ground chicken for pork if preferred.
  • For an Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) compliant version, substitute lime juice for rice vinegar and omit Sriracha.
  • Discard the pork fat after browning to keep the soup lighter.
  • This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheats beautifully.
  • Add extra vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for variety.
