Ingredients

Protein

  • 1 lb ground pork (substitute with ground chicken if preferred)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small thumb ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 green cabbage, sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp green onion, chopped (for garnish)

Liquids & Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (substitute lime juice for AIP compliance)
  • Optional: Sriracha to taste (omit for AIP)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Pork: Using a large pot, cook the ground pork over medium heat until browned. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Once cooked, set the pork aside and carefully discard the fat from the pot.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Melt the coconut oil in the same pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the shredded carrots and continue to sauté for a few more minutes until they start to soften. Then, add the sliced cabbage and stir for a few minutes until it just begins to soften.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Pour in the chicken broth along with the cooked pork and coconut aminos. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Let it cook for 20-25 minutes or until the cabbage is wilted and tender.
  4. Finish the Soup: Stir in the rice vinegar (or lime juice, if making AIP). Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt or coconut aminos. If desired, add Sriracha for a spicy kick, omitting for AIP compliance.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Paleo Egg Roll Soup.
