How to Make the Recipe
Making Comforting Egg Roll Soup is a breeze! Here’s how I do it:
- Start by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add a splash of oil and sauté your protein until cooked through.
- Next, toss in your chopped vegetables. I love using a mix of cabbage, carrots, and green onions for that classic egg roll flavor.
- Pour in some chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. This is where the magic happens!
- Season with soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to taste. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing all those flavors to meld together.
- Finally, serve hot, garnished with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your soup turns out perfectly:
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of coconut milk or a dollop of cream at the end.
- If you’re looking for a quick meal, use pre-shredded vegetables to save time.
- Feel free to add in any leftover proteins or veggies you have in the fridge—this soup is incredibly versatile!
- For those who enjoy a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes or sriracha to spice things up.
How to Serve
This soup is delightful on its own, but you can also serve it with:
- Steamed rice or noodles for a heartier meal.
- A side of crispy wontons or egg rolls for that extra crunch.
- Fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for a burst of flavor.
It’s a fantastic option for 30-minute meals that will impress your family and friends!
Make Ahead and Storage
If you’re like me and love to meal prep, this soup is perfect for making ahead of time. Here’s how to store it:
- Let the soup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
- It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- When reheating, add a splash of broth or water to loosen it up, as it may thicken in the fridge.
