Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground chicken or turkey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (about 1 medium carrot)
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (or more, to taste)
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions (scallions) for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven

Method
 

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken or turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease if necessary.
    1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 pound lean ground chicken or turkey
  2. Add the finely chopped yellow onion to the pot with the cooked meat. Sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
    1 medium yellow onion, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
  3. Stir in the shredded carrots and coleslaw mix. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth).
    1 cup shredded carrots, 1 cup coleslaw mix, 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  4. Add the low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, and sriracha to the pot. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly but still retain a bit of crunch.
    2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sriracha
  5. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. You might want a little more soy sauce for saltiness, more rice vinegar for tang, or more sriracha for heat.
  6. Ladle the hot Healthy Egg Roll Soup Recipe into bowls. Garnish generously with sliced green onions, chopped fresh cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
    1/2 cup sliced green onions (scallions), 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
