Ingredients You Need
If you’ve never had this soup, you’re in for a treat! With just a handful of basic ingredients, you’ll be on your way to an easy dinner in no time. Gather these ingredients to make a simple yet delicious egg roll soup:
- Salt
- Sesame oil
- Garlic: Freshly minced garlic is best.
- Green onions: Chopped for garnish.
- Yellow onion: Use about 1 medium-sized onion, diced.
- Ginger: Grated fresh ginger adds so much flavor, but you can substitute that with 1 teaspoon of dry ginger powder.
- Carrots: Cut into matchsticks, about 1 cup of carrot matchsticks.
- Ground sausage: Use your favorite bulk sausage (mild or hot).
- Chicken broth: Homemade bone broth is always ideal, but you can find good quality broths in your local grocery store or purchase online from Kettle & Fire.
- Soy sauce: Use keto soy sauce to keep this keto or use coconut aminos instead, but it’s an important ingredient in the soup’s flavor, so don’t skip it!
- Green cabbage: Slice fresh cabbage or use a coleslaw mix to save time shredding and make the most delicious egg roll soup with coleslaw mix.
Variations and Substitutions
Egg rolls have a flavor profile that includes lots of ginger, garlic, onion, carrots, and of course, cabbage. Beyond that, you can easily customize this soup to make it your own. Here are some ideas:
- Meat alternatives: Don’t feel limited by ground sausage, this recipe welcomes a variety of protein options. Swap it out with another choice of ground meat such as pork or turkey for a leaner soup. Ground chicken would also work great in this recipe.
- Bone broth: Bump up the nutritional profile of your egg roll soup by using nourishing bone broth. Sure, you can use storebought, and thankfully, there are many good quality broths on the market now. But nothing compares to homemade bone broth. Either chicken or beef bone broth would work, with beef having a richer taste that’s also great for this one-pot meal.
- Meatless soup: Keep it meat-free by replacing ground sausage with shiitake mushrooms or crispy tofu.
- Spicy soup: Serve with a splash of sriracha sauce for an extra kick!
Step-By-Step Instructions
Once soup season is in full swing, this recipe becomes my go-to busy weeknight soup.
Follow these simple directions to make egg roll soup and you can’t go wrong! With only 10 minutes of active, hands-on time, it feels effortless to make. The soup gently simmers away for the rest of the cooking time.
- Brown the sausage over medium-high heat in the bottom of a large 4-quart stock pot.
- Add sesame oil, onion, and ginger, then sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the carrots and garlic; continue cooking for 4 minutes until the carrots soften.
- Add broth, soy sauce, and shredded cabbage. Season with salt.
- Mix well and bring the pot to a simmer; maintain for 15 minutes until the cabbage is soft and tender.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
Expert Tips
- Taste and adjust! I always recommend tasting while cooking to get to know the dish and adjust the seasoning as you like best.
- Control salt levels. Be extra mindful of the salt content, especially if you’re using storebought broth and seasoning ingredients like soy sauce.
- Use a food processor to shred the vegetables and save prep time.
How to Store This Recipe
This egg roll soup is a great make-ahead meal and it’s freezer-friendly! I suggest making a double batch, freezing some to eat later, and then enjoying it throughout the week for convenient lunches or dinners.
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
Leftover egg roll soup makes a great lunch the next day. In fact, it tastes better after all the flavors have melded together.
To reheat leftover soup, gently bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat and heat until thoroughly warmed.
What to Serve with One-Pot Egg Roll Soup
My egg roll soup is great as a standalone meal, but you can always pair it with other dishes and drinks to take your meal experience up a notch. Here are some suggestions:
- Cauliflower rice
- Steamed edamame sprinkled with mineral-rich salt
- Pickle relish, pickled daikon radish, or kimchi
- Asian-inspired appetizers like spring rolls with cabbage leaves or crispy tofu bites lightly seasoned with keto soy sauce and sesame oil
- Crispy egg roll wrappers made with almond flour or coconut flour (for dipping into the soup)
- Herbal teas such as chamomile and ginger tea

I love anything with sausage and cabbage together so I made this for the fam. For better or worse, there weren’t ANY leftovers!!
For better or worse, I hear you! I’m sure making a double batch next time will avoid that “problem.” Have a great day!
Been looking for a new soup to add to our weeknight menu and this was a hit with the family! We felt like it was take out 😉 Even better we got to use our own chicken sausage. Thanks!
Substituting with chicken sausage sounds yummy! Great choice!
