Cozy One-Pot Egg Roll Soup


  • Author: Daniel Reed

  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

Cozy One-Pot Egg Roll Soup is a warm, takeout-inspired bowl with savory ground pork (or turkey), tender cabbage, sweet carrots, and a gingery garlic broth finished with sesame oil and rice vinegar. It has all the flavor of an egg roll without frying, and it’s perfect for quick weeknight dinners and meal prep. Top with green onions, toasted sesame, crunchy wonton strips, and chili crisp for that classic egg-roll crunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork (or ground turkey)
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (if needed)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp hoisin sauce (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper (optional)
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (or 1 bag coleslaw mix)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
  • 6 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water (optional, to thicken)
  • 1 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil (finish)
  • 23 green onions, sliced
  • Optional heat: 1–2 tbsp chili garlic sauce or sriracha
  • For serving: wonton strips, sesame seeds, cilantro, chili crisp, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. 1. Brown ground pork in a large pot over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks; drain excess fat if needed
  2. 2. Add onion and cook until softened, then stir in garlic and ginger until fragrant
  3. 3. Pour in broth and stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin (if using), and white pepper; bring to a gentle simmer
  4. 4. Add cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms (if using) and simmer until cabbage is tender
  5. 5. If you want a thicker broth, stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer 1–2 minutes
  6. 6. Turn off heat and stir in toasted sesame oil
  7. 7. Taste and adjust with more vinegar for brightness, soy for salt, or chili sauce for heat
  8. 8. Serve topped with green onions, sesame seeds, crunchy wonton strips, and chili crisp

Notes

  • Coleslaw mix is a great shortcut—add it during the simmer step
  • Start with low-sodium broth because soy sauce adds salt; adjust at the end
  • Add sesame oil off heat for the best egg-roll aroma
  • Too salty? Add more broth/water and a splash of vinegar to rebalance
  • Too spicy? Add more broth and a small drizzle of hoisin for sweetness
  • For gluten-free, use tamari and skip wonton strips (use toasted nuts or sesame instead)
  • For extra protein, add egg ribbons by drizzling whisked eggs into simmering soup
  • Store toppings separately so they stay crunchy
  • Keeps 4–5 days; freeze 2–3 months without toppings
