Thanks for the recipe. Can I replace avocado oil?
Sure.
Made it for lunch this afternoon, could not have been pleased more!! Had to use olive oil (couldn’t find avocado oil) and used lime juice – Perfect – Already printed recipes for my daughters, and some group texts – Keep meals like this coming!
So glad it was a hit!
What kind of mushrooms would you use for this?
A few different kinds could work well here, ranging from a white button mushroom or crimini mushroom, to a shitaki or a portobello.
This soup was delicious and even better the next day for lunch! I used purple cabbage since that’s what I had on hand and turned out perfect, so flavorful – tasted just like an egg roll, minus the icky fried shell! Highly recommend!
Look like very yummy
Will Napa cabbage be ok to substitute, or is it too fragile for soup?
Hi Jayme, I think it should be okay. Maybe try slicing it a little thicker!
Will be great!
I made this tonight using shredded Brussels sprouts instead of the cabbage. My daughter gobbled it up, which is a total win!
Does this soup freeze well!
yes!
I whipped up a pot of this using shredded chicken/vegetable broth instead of pork/beef broth. It will be a new staple in my kitchen. I work around a lot of food sensitivities and it is so nice to have a comforting and tasty soup in the rotation.
