Why You’ll Love My Dumpling Soup

This dumpling soup is the ideal lazy weeknight dinner . With its hearty dumplings and nutritious broth, it’s the perfect meal to warm you up on a chilly evening ❄️.

Not only does this soup require minimal steps, but it’s incredibly versatile and can be completely personalized. You can use store-bought broth or make your own from scratch (you know I’m all about that extra effort 😏), while also customizing the dumplings and toppings to your liking. No matter what flavor combo you choose, with this recipe, you’ll have a warm and nourishing meal ready in no time!

How to Prepare

🔥 Take 4 cups of broth (like my homemade broth below, or you can use store-bought) and simmer in a pot on the stove.

🐔To make homemade chicken broth , first add 10 cups of water to a big pot. Then put in whole peeled veggies like carrots, onion, celery, peeled garlic, and leeks. Now, bring all of this to a boil, and then add salt 🧂 and 4 chicken thighs (or any cut of chicken), and let it boil for one hour. I used four cups of this broth for my base.

🥟 Drop in the dumplings and cook until they float to the top (approximately 2 minutes).

🌶️ Now for the finishing touches, add chili oil (optional, omit if you don’t like heat), hoisin sauce, and garnish with scallions.
