Easy Dumpling Soup

Sometimes we just want a quick and easy meal. It’s totally ok to get store-bought dumplings and just jazz up the chicken broth and also add your favorite veggies. Easy Dumpling Soup is great if you want something warm and flavorful, sit down and enjoy your soup while watching the beautiful nature outside the window.

What are dumplings?

Dumplings are dough filled with either meat or vegetables with a soy-based dipping sauce. The dough is made of three ingredients, water, flour, and salt. It’s rolled thinly and cut into rounds or squares, then filled. There are several ways how to fold dumplings. In this particular recipe, I used Gyoza, the leftover from my last cooking class. It’s a popular dish in Japan and almost all restaurants there serve Gyoza. It’s a half-moon-shaped dumpling and has pleated fold edges. 

You can find frozen dumplings at your local grocery store, or visit your local Asian market. If you’d like to master the art of making dumplings from scratch, you can book a class with me.

Hi there! Nice to meet you. My name is Jen.

I’m a mom of 2 wonderful girls. I love to prepare and cook home-cooked meals. Cooking and planning your meals might sound like another chore added to your already long list of things to do. Believe me, I’ve been there. However, cooking more meals at home is worth all the effort.  After years of cooking for my family and teaching culinary classes, I can honestly say that I have more control over the quality of the ingredients I use. That means I’m eating a lot better. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring and you don’t have to eat the same thing repeatedly. There are ways we can do and naturally enhance the flavor of our food and enjoy home-cooked meals.
