The 20 BEST Asian Soups
This collection of Asian Soup Recipes includes all of your favorites, from delicately seasoned to bold and fiery. We love this easy egg roll soup:
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground pork

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a pot over medium high heat. Add chopped onions and carrots and sauté for a few minutes, till the onion gets soft and translucent.

- Stir in chopped cabbage and bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until carrots and cabbage are nice and tender.
