Ingredients
. Whether you’re looking for a cozy meal on a chilly evening or a light lunch that feels indulgent, this soup has you covered. Tender dumplings swim in a savory broth with fresh vegetables and vibrant seasonings, making every spoonful a burst of comfort. Let’s get started!
Ingredients
1 tbsp sesame oil – Adds a nutty aroma and rich flavor to the soup.
2 tbsp minced fresh ginger – For a warm, slightly spicy kick.
4 garlic cloves, minced – Infuses the broth with depth and richness.
6 cups chicken stock – The base of the soup, providing savory undertones.
3 tbsp soy sauce – Balances saltiness and umami.
½ bunch green onions, thinly sliced – Adds freshness and a mild onion flavor.
2 large carrots, julienned (or 1 cup pre-cut) – For a pop of color and natural sweetness.
½ tsp sea salt – Enhances the overall flavor.
1.5 lb bag frozen dumplings (potstickers or mini potstickers) – The star of the dish! Choose your favorite variety.
2 cups fresh spinach, packed – Adds nutrients and a beautiful green touch.
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional) – For a subtle crunch and extra nuttiness.
Instructions
Step 1: Start with Aromatics
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a soup pot over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, letting them sauté for about 3 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when your kitchen smells absolutely amazing. This step is key to building the soup’s flavor base!
Step 2: Build the Broth
Pour in the chicken stock and stir in the soy sauce, green onions, carrots, and sea salt.
Bring this mixture to a gentle boil. The broth should already be looking vibrant and smelling incredible.
Step 3: Cook the Dumplings
Add your frozen dumplings directly to the boiling broth. Stir gently to ensure they don’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
Once the soup returns to a boil, let the dumplings cook for about 4 minutes, or until they’re tender and heated through.
Step 4: Add Fresh Spinach
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh spinach. The residual heat will wilt the spinach perfectly, preserving its bright green color and delicate texture.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with a touch of sesame seeds (if using) and extra green onions for a finishing touch. Serve hot and enjoy the cozy flavors!
