Easy Dumpling Soup
Description
This soup features a flavorful broth made from vegetable base enhanced with soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, providing a gentle umami and nutty richness. The addition of fish sauce offers optional depth. White parts of the green onion are cooked in to contribute aromatic sharpness.
Frozen dumplings poach in the simmering broth until fully cooked, delivering soft, chewy pockets that complement the savory liquid. Finishing the soup with raw green onion tops and spinach adds freshness and a slight crunch contrasting the dumplings. Toppings like sesame seeds and Sichuan chili crisp offer nutty and spicy accents depending on preference.
Served split into bowls, this soup can be easily customized with different dumpling fillings or fresh vegetables. The recipe notes recommend adjusting salt if broth is made with a low-sodium base.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable broth $0.18
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce $0.06
- 1 tsp sesame oil $0.08, toasted
- 1/4 tsp fish sauce $0.04, optional
- 1 green onion $0.09, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
- 10 dumplings $3.00, frozen
- 1/2 cup spinach $0.91, fresh
Garnishes, optional
- 1/2 tsp sesame seeds $0.07
- 1 Tbsp Sichuan chili crisp $0.88
Instructions
- Combine the vegetable broth, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and the white parts of a sliced green onion in a medium-sized pot. (If using, also add the fish sauce, pre-cooked proteins or tofu, and any fresh or frozen vegetables that need time to soften.)
- Bring the broth up to a boil on medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the dumplings.
- Cover the pot and allow the soup to come back up to a boil. Boil the dumplings for about 2 minutes or until they are cooked through. (Consult package directions.)
- Turn off the heat and stir in the green parts of the sliced green onion and a handful of spinach.
- Split the soup into 2 serving bowls and top with any desired condiments.
Notes
- Broth made from Better Than Bouillon can be substituted with low-sodium broth; taste and adjust salt accordingly.
- Preferred dumplings are ones filled with pork and vegetables, but you may use your favorite filling.
- Additional vegetables like baby bok choy can be added for more texture and nutrition.
