15-Minute Dumpling Soup
Give yourself a delicious meal & a break in just 15 minutes.
The past two weeks, I’ve brought you time-intensive recipes (I’m looking at you, focaccia pizza & perfect pulled pork!), so this week we’re taking it SUPER easy with a 15-minute meal.
Dumplings are delicious, and when you put them into a soup, they become a complete meal.
Consider this warm, aromatic, and comforting dumpling soup your new favorite uncomplicated weekday dinner.
A few reasons why this should be on your meal plan this week!
This dumpling soup is as easy and as delicious as it gets. You'll love how this speedy soup combines store-bought ingredients with a few simple flavorings all in one pot. Let the grocery store do all the heavy lifting so you can assemble this meal in just minutes.
We are using frozen dumplings (or potstickers!). I’m rarely an advocate for frozen food, but there are SO many great grocery store options when it comes to frozen dumplings. Available is everything from Thai veggie potstickers, to shrimp shumai, chicken and cilantro, or ginger and pork. Grab your favorite or try something new!
Make it your own. Resist the urge to get takeout and spend 15 minutes making a flavorful, delicious dish where you can control the ingredients. Not feeling chicken? Use pork or veggie potstickers. Want to make it plant-based? Swap the stock from chicken to veggie. Trying to clean out the fridge? Use almost-expired leafy greens like bok choy, fresh veggies like bean sprouts, or beef up the protein with a jammy egg or leftover meat.
