What Is Lumpia

Lumpia is a spring roll that’s fried until crisp. They’re commonly eaten in Indonesia and the Philippines. I love Filipino food and if you’ve never tried it before, I highly suggest giving this tasty cuisine a shot. Because of this cluster of island’s unique position in the world, the cuisine of the Philippines has been influenced by just about every different type of cuisine there is. Filipino food is basically the definition of flavor fusion; it’s a global port, people of every culture have come to the Philippines and had some influence on the culture and cuisine.

Lumpia Flavors, Healthier/Unstuffed Version

This lumpia soup is based on my unstuffed lumpia recipe. When I say based on, I mean I pretty much took the unstuffed lumpia recipe and added broth to it. Unstuffed is healthier than traditional fried lumpia. When you “unstuff” a dish like lumpia, you are just taking out the dough wrapper that the ingredients are fried in, which reduces the amount of carbs in this recipe compared to traditional lumpias. I also turned this recipe into a soup to help warm up those chilly fall nights that are coming soon. Since lumpia is usually made with pork, I used ground pork in this recipe. If you don’t eat red meat, a good substitution would be ground turkey.

Storing Lumpia Soup

Storing leftover lumpia soup can be very easy if you know how to do it right. Make sure you have a good air and watertight storage container; you don’t want to have any accidental leaks all over your refrigerator or freezer. If you are going to ladle your soup into containers while still hot, I recommend against using plastic containers since they might melt a bit because of the heat. Use a large spoon or ladle to scoop your unstuffed lumpia soup into whatever container you choose, and your leftovers could last up to five days in the refrigerator or up to three months in the freezer. You can easily reheat this unstuffed lumpia soup by pouring it from the container into your slow cooker or Instant Pot to sit on warm, or a pot on your stove on low. If you are reheating from frozen, set your container in the refrigerator to thaw overnight if you can, or at least six to eight hours.

I used a  3.5-quart slow cooker for this recipe. If you have a 6-quart slow cooker or Instant Pot, double the recipe to feed a larger crowd.

What type of onion is used?I see green onions (scallions) in the pictures. Is this the type of onion used in the recipe, or is it just a garnish?

The scallion on top is just a garnish. For the recipe, you can use your preferred onion whether it be sweet onion, yellow onion, white onion, red onion, etc. I tend to almost always use yellow or white. I think I used white onion for this one.

This soup is a winner! I've made other egg roll soups before, but this one is much more flavorful and delicious. Plus it's so easy to make. A definite make again.
