Soup is sort of an obsession in our family. Because soup is what makes everything better, even if nothing is wrong.

So when we set out to find a soup recipe for dinner, it can mean many things. Are we looking for a comfort food soup recipe? A healthy soup recipe? Or somewhere in between…

This Pork Egg Roll Soup recipe is more on the healthy side, and it’s definitely a low carb soup recipe if that’s what you’re looking for! So yes, we’ve added a few crunchy wontons to the top of this soup because our kids love them. But if you’re looking to keep the carbs way down then of course just leave them off.

How Do You Make Pork Egg Roll Soup?

One of the best parts about a soup recipe is when it’s totally delicious AND totally easy. This Pork Egg Roll Soup recipe falls into both categories.

All you need to do is cook the cabbage, onion and carrot in a pot for a few minutes until they soften up. Then add in the ground pork and cook, crumbling the pork as it cooks.

I don’t like to crumble the pork too much for this soup recipe, I like to see the pieces of pork in the soup. Next you just add your broth, soy sauce, sesame oil and seasonings. Simmer for 15 minutes and you’ve got an easy dinner recipe that took less than a half an hour, start to finish.

Is This A Low Carb Soup Recipe?

It sure is, one bowl will only cost you about 5 carbs, but that’s without the crispy wontons on top. We love serving dinner recipes like this egg roll soup that each family member can customize.

Because we might be on a low carb diet but our kids sure aren’t. Kids get crispy wontons for them on their soup, no wontons for us.

Can You Make This Pork Egg Roll Soup Recipe Ahead Of Time?

Vegetables, broth and ground pork. That’s basically all so this soup can sit in your refrigerator for a day or too, no problem.

    Soup looks delicious and flavorful!

    After browning the ground pork, the grease stays in the pot and not drained off?

    1. Dan

      There isn’t much grease in the pot if you’re using lean ground pork. But if you want to drain the grease off you certainly can!

    This sounds amazing! Trying it tomorrow. I’m wondering if adding rice noodles will change it up to much? I love rice noodles. Should I cook them separate?

    This is my favorite soup to make and eat. So cheap, and so easy!

    Helpful tip I learned along the way- I add some chopped up water chestnuts into the soup since they don’t lose their nice crunch. It really transforms the soup.
