Keto Egg Roll Soup

yield: 6 SERVINGS

prep time: 15 MINUTES

cook time: 15 MINUTES

total time: 30 MINUTES

Ingredients

1 pound ground pork
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 orange bell pepper, cut into thin, short strips (about 1" long)
3-4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger
small head green cabbage, shredded (about 8 cups)
6 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon tamari
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
sriracha (optional for added heat)

Directions

Using a large pot, brown the ground pork on medium heat until just done. If desired, drain the fat (I choose not to).

To the pot, add sesame oil, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 5 minutes or until onions are slightly translucent.

Add the broth, cabbage, soy sauce/tamari, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Bring the soup to a low simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the cabbage is wilted. If needed, season further with additional salt and pepper. Now it's ready to serve!

Top each bowl with sliced green onions & toasted sesame seeds. For a little spice, add a squirt of sriracha per individual serving.

This easy-to-make keto egg roll soup will satisfy your hunger for Chinese food!

Every once in a while I get a serious hankering for Chinese food… and that’s when I make this keto Chinese pork egg roll soup.

It’s a tasty union of pork, sesame, and ginger that really calms the craving. This soup is hearty and satisfying while keeping carbs low and flavors high. I really like to top mine with toasted sesame seeds, green onions, and a squirt of sriracha for an extra kick!

Recipe tips to keep in mind when making Keto Chinese Pork Egg Roll Soup:

- Spice things up by adding a dash of sriracha to your bowl. Sriracha is a spicy sauce made with red chili and garlic that’s commonly served with Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai cuisine. My favorite brands are Huy Fong and Merfs (I love the Merfs variety pack of sauces which includes sriracha).

- If you’re not a pork fan, feel free to substitute with ground turkey, ground chicken, or even ground beef. When I make this soup with ground beef, I like to use beef broth instead of chicken broth to give it a richer taste.

- Vegetarians, try using a combination of TVP (textured vegetable protein), and finely diced mushrooms in place of the ground pork. I also recommend adding in an extra tablespoon of sesame, avocado, or coconut oil.

- Craving crackers with your soup? No problem, make our easy peasy 2-ingredient keto crackers and dunk them right in your soup bowl!
