Simmer everything in 6 cups of beef broth with seasonings like 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, and sauces including 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce. This recipe serves six, with each 400 ml bowl offering a comforting and flavorful meal. Preparation takes 15 minutes, with a 30-minute cooking time.

Add sliced carrots and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Push vegetables to one side, add lean ground beef, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

For a quick and nutrient-packed twist, try using kale or a mix of broccoli slaw, like those from Green Giant, to add extra veggies in minutes, or include mushrooms or cauliflower for added texture. Swap ground beef with ground turkey to save a few Weight Watchers points without compromising on flavor.

Tips and Tricks

To make Egg Roll Soup effortlessly flavorful, use pre-cut veggies like shredded cabbage or carrot sticks to save prep time. Opt for low-sodium broth to balance the saltiness from soy and oyster sauces. Brown the meat first for a deeper flavor, removing it before sautéing the veggies, and then return it with the broth. Let the soup simmer slowly to meld the flavors, as longer cooking enhances the taste. Finish with fresh cilantro or green onions right before serving for a bright, aromatic touch.
