Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 package (12 oz) chicken dumplings
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Cook Dumplings: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the chicken dumplings and cook until they are tender, approximately 5-7 minutes depending on dumpling size and package instructions.
- Add Greens and Season: Stir in fresh spinach or bok choy along with soy sauce. Cook until the greens are wilted, around 2 to 3 minutes.
- Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle sesame oil into the soup for enhanced flavor and a nutty aroma just before serving.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken dumplings with vegetable dumplings and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Adjust soy sauce according to taste and sodium preference.
- Fresh ginger can be substituted with ground ginger in a pinch, but fresh is preferred for brightness.
- If you prefer a thicker broth, you can add a cornstarch slurry at step 4 to slightly thicken the soup.
