Healthy & spicy egg roll soup – the perfect cozy meal that tastes just like a classic egg roll with a little kick of spice!
Two things I love: crispy egg rolls and soup. So, I figured why not combine the two and add some spice 🙂 The cool thing is that the spice factor is totally up to you.. which is why in the recipe I wrote “sriracha to taste” – it’s all about your personal palette. I looove flavor and spicy, so I go heavy with the sriracha. It’s always a good idea to add a little, taste test, then add more if need be.
One of my favorite things about getting Chinese food take-out when I was younger was eating a crispy and delicious egg roll. Also, my fortune from my fortune cookie lol.. but the egg rolls were definitely my favorite thing to eat on the table.
This soup is very filling. Cabbage tends to do that, which is great because it’s so good for you. My favorite part about this dish is the wonton strips that go on top. I get mine pre-made.. most grocery stores sell them near croutons and other salad toppers. They add the perfect little crunch.
This soup is inspired by and adapted by Gimme Some Oven’s egg roll soup (recipe linked here)
