Soup Ingredients
- 1 package (12 oz) pork or chicken dumplings
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Garnish
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth and streamlined cooking process.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, approximately 1 minute, to release their flavors.
- Simmer Dumplings: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Carefully add the dumplings and cook them until tender and fully heated through, usually about 5-7 minutes depending on dumpling size.
- Add Greens and Seasoning: Stir in the fresh spinach or bok choy along with the soy sauce. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the greens have wilted and absorbed the broth flavors.
- Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle the sesame oil into the soup just before serving to enhance the aroma and add a subtle nutty flavor.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with the chopped green onions for a fresh, crisp contrast.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and substitute dumplings with vegetable-based ones.
- If fresh ginger is unavailable, you may use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger as a substitute.
- Adjust the soy sauce amount based on your preferred saltiness level.
- If you prefer a spicier soup, adding a dash of chili oil or red pepper flakes works well.
- To make the soup more filling, consider adding cooked noodles or extra vegetables like mushrooms.
