I can't get over how good and how EASY) this Dumpling Soup recipe is. my go-to when I want something cozy and delicious without spending an hour in the kitchen. The broth is packed with so much flavor, but comes together in just 20 minutes. I use whatever frozen dumplings I have on hand (Costco mini dumplings or or Trader Joe's mini chicken wontons are my go-to).

How to make Dumpling Soup with Frozen Dumplings:
Make Broth: Sauté the whites of the green onion, garlic, and ginger in oil in a large soup pot for a couple minutes. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and broth then bring to a boil. Let it simmer for a few minutes then season with white or black pepper and salt only if needed.
Cook Dumplings: Boil dumplings in a separate pot according to package instructions, until they float. Drain and place about 8 mini dumplings in each serving bowl. Don't add them to the big pot of soup or it will make them soggy.
Add Veggies and Serve: Add bok choy and half of the green part of the green onion to the hot broth and let simmer for 2 minutes, until wilted. Ladle 2 cups of soup into each bowl with dumplings. Top soup with cilantro, extra green onion, and a scoop of chili crisp on top (my favorite!).
