EGG ROLL SOUP by Dr. Cindy Tanzar
Plan: (Maintenance or Special Occasion)
Serving information: Makes 4-6 servings
This easy one-pot recipe has all the great flavors of an egg roll, but in a soup. You can always adjust the flavors with more or less garlic, ginger or sesame oil to your liking. Soups can be hard to measure according to plan, so it is a maintenance recipe, but this is a very weight-loss friendly choice.
