Key Ingredients for Your Keto Egg Roll Soup

Crafting this flavorful soup requires a handful of simple, wholesome ingredients that are easily found at any grocery store. The combination of these components creates that distinctive egg roll taste we all crave, without any of the added carbs from wrappers or deep frying.

You’ll primarily need:

  • Cabbage (or coleslaw mix): The star vegetable, providing crunch and bulk. A pre-shredded coleslaw mix can save you precious prep time.
  • Ground Sausage: Offers a rich, savory base. You can choose mild or spicy depending on your preference.
  • Chicken or Vegetable Stock: Forms the flavorful broth. Choose a low-sodium option to control the saltiness.
  • Soy Sauce (or Coconut Aminos): Essential for that umami depth. Coconut aminos are a great soy-free and gluten-free alternative.
  • Garlic & Ginger: These aromatic powerhouses are crucial for authentic Asian-inspired flavor. Fresh is always best!
  • Sesame Oil: A finishing touch that adds a distinctive nutty aroma and flavor.

Beyond these core ingredients, you’ll also find a few other staples like carrots (for a touch of sweetness and color), onion, salt, pepper, and green onions for garnish, all contributing to the overall deliciousness of this keto-friendly soup.

How Do You Make This Easy Keto Egg Roll Soup?

Just like most comforting soups, this healthy keto egg roll soup is incredibly straightforward to prepare. You can have it prepped and simmering in less than 30 minutes, making it a perfect solution for a quick and satisfying meal. The process begins with browning your chosen ground sausage to create a flavorful foundation. Then, you simply add the remaining ingredients into the same pot, allowing them to simmer and meld into a rich, aromatic broth. The detailed, step-by-step directions are provided below, ensuring a seamless cooking experience.

Customization: Make This Soup Yours!

One of the best things about this low-carb egg roll soup is its versatility. Feel free to adapt it to your taste preferences or what you have on hand:

  • Protein Power: While ground sausage is traditional, you can easily swap it for ground chicken, turkey, or beef. For a plant-based option, sautéed mushrooms or crumbled firm tofu can work wonderfully.
  • Spice It Up: Drizzle with your favorite hot sauce or sriracha for an extra kick. A pinch of red pepper flakes added during cooking can also enhance the heat.
  • Add Eggs: For an extra layer of protein and a boost of creaminess, stir in a whisked egg or two right at the end of cooking, similar to egg drop soup.
  • Crunch Factor: Top with toasted sesame seeds, crispy fried garlic, or even a few crushed pork rinds for added texture.
  • Vary the Veggies: Feel free to toss in other keto-friendly vegetables like bok choy, bell peppers, or sliced mushrooms.
