My dumpling soup tastes like it came straight from your favorite Chinese restaurant, but it’s made with frozen dumplings, so it’s incredibly easy to whip up! With a gingery broth, vibrant veggies, and hearty edamame, this cozy bowl is full of flavor and perfect for chilly days.

Instructions

  • Coat the bottom of a large pot with the oil and place it over medium heat. Give the oil a minute to heat up, then add the garlic, ginger, and white parts of your scallions. Cook the mixture for about a minute, stirring constantly, until it becomes very fragrant.
  • Add the broth, bok choy stems, and carrots to the pot. Raise the heat and bring the broth to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in the bok choy leaves, dumplings, and edamame. Raise the heat to high and bring the broth back up to a boil. Lower the heat and let the soup simmer until the dumplings are cooked through. This should take around five minutes, but will vary a bit depending on the size of your dumplings (Note 1).
  • Remove the pot from heat. Season the soup with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Taste-test and make any adjustments needed to suit your taste.
  • Ladle into bowls. Top with the green parts of your scallions, and any other accompaniments of choice. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Check your dumpling package for cooking time instructions. You can also test one by cutting it open — the filling should be piping hot.
