Soup Ingredients
- 12 frozen pork dumplings
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., bok choy or carrots)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Garnish
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Mince the garlic and fresh ginger finely to release their flavors.
- Simmer Broth: In a large pot over medium heat, bring the low-sodium chicken broth to a gentle simmer.
- Cook Dumplings: Add the frozen pork dumplings directly into the simmering broth. Cook according to the package instructions, typically about 6-8 minutes, until the dumplings are fully cooked and tender.
- Add Aromatics and Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and mixed vegetables. Continue to simmer the soup until the vegetables soften slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Finish Soup: Drizzle the sesame oil into the pot for a nutty aroma and depth of flavor. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary, though the chicken broth and dumplings typically provide adequate seasoning.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with sliced fresh green onions for a fresh, crisp bite and added color.
Notes
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt levels in the soup.
- Feel free to swap pork dumplings for chicken or vegetable dumplings to suit dietary preferences.
- To keep vegetables crisp, add them last and do not overcook.
- The soup can be enhanced with a splash of soy sauce or chili oil for extra flavor and spice.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 2 days but dumplings can get soft over time.
