Recipe Tips

→ Can I use fresh dumplings instead of frozen ones?
Absolutely, fresh dumplings work great! Just cook them for 3-4 minutes since they take less time than frozen.
→ How can I make this soup vegetarian?
Swap chicken broth with vegetable broth and pick vegetarian dumplings. Toss in extra veggies like mushrooms to boost the taste!
→ Is it possible to prepare this soup ahead of time?
You can make the broth beforehand, but only add the dumplings when you're ready to eat. Leaving them in the broth too long can make them mushy.
→ What vegetables can I add to this soup?
Bok choy, spinach, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots are lovely additions. Toss them in near the end for a bit of crunch.
→ How do I store leftovers?
Keep the broth and dumplings in separate containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Heat the broth and add dumplings just before serving.
