Description
A 15-minute soup with dumplings made from frozen favorites, simmered in a savory sesame-soy broth and finished with tender greens. A quick, comforting one-pot dinner ideal for busy nights.
Ingredients
2 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 green onion, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
10 frozen vegetable or chicken dumplings (avoid pork or bone-in)
½ cup fresh spinach or baby bok choy
Optional toppings: ½ teaspoon sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon chili crisp
Instructions
1. In a medium pot, combine the vegetable broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and the white parts of the green onion.
2. Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Once boiling, add the frozen dumplings. Cover the pot and return to a boil.
4. Boil for about 2 minutes or according to package directions, until dumplings are fully cooked.
5. Turn off the heat. Stir in the green onion tops and spinach until wilted.
6. Divide the soup into two bowls and garnish with optional sesame seeds or chili crisp if desired.
Notes
Use low-sodium broth and soy sauce if you’re watching sodium intake. For a vegetarian version, ensure the dumplings are veggie-based and chili crisp contains no fish ingredients. Baby bok choy can be used instead of spinach for a crunchier texture.
