Full disclosure: the inspiration for Dumpling Soup came from the back of the dumpling package. It was listed under cooking methods;Â boil in soup for 5 minutes or until cooked. “Dumpling soup?” I thought to myself, “that sounds delicious.” And the recipe was born.
Admittedly skeptical at first, Husband got on board right after the first sip. “I love this,” he said between slurps, broth dripping down his chin. I love when my new recipes get that kind of reaction.
This Dumpling Soup recipe is loaded with delicious vegetables, like bok choy, baby corns, and water chestnuts. While I really like the combination of vegetables listed, the recipe is pretty forgiving, so use the veggies that you like. One thing I don’t suggest messing with though is the bouillon; you want this soup nice and salty, and the mixture of the two flavours makes it taste heavenly.
One last thing; here in Calgary, I’ve found that the best selection of vegan dumplings can be found at T&T Superstore. One brand, Assi, is even palm oil free! Hearts Choices also carries a delicious vegan dumpling. If you’ve got a favourite one, let me know in the comments below; I’m always on the lookout for more dumplings. MOAR DUMPLINGS!
Enjoy the soup, friends! I’ll see you all real soon. 🙂
