What is Chinese Dumpling Soup recipe

Chinese Dumpling Soup recipe is a traditional soup cooked in chicken broth it also has an array of fresh vegetables and meats. It is very similar to won ton soup and can also have dumplings or wontons added.

You have the ability to make changes within this recipe to suite your personal taste.

Examples:

• You can use whole deveined shrimp if you prefer. (However keep in mind that those whole shrimp help give flavor to the chicken stock). 
• You can use pre-made stock of chicken and or seafood stock if you prefer. 
• You can use any type of mushroom. (I used dry shiitake mushrooms) soaked them for 30 minutes prior to chopping up and placing in the soup.
• You can throw in other types of vegetables in too.
• You can choose your flavor of pre-cooked frozen dumplings as well.

VEGETABLES THAT GO WELL INTO WONTON SOUP

• Broccoli
• Bok Choy
• Green Onions
• Snap peas
• Water chestnuts  

Anyone can make this soup at home. And you can of course make those wontons’ from scratch if you desire: Here is a great recipe > How to wrap wontons but keep in mind that takes a lot more time and this recipe is really for someone looking for a quick homemade soup.

I like to use pre-made wontons or pot stickers, which has this soup ready in under 30 minutes!

My favorite pot stickers are either chicken or pork and vegetable filled, however you can use whichever ones you prefer too. 

The difference between this soup and what you will find in a Chinese restaurant is probably the size of the wontons. Being that I use pot stickers which are essentially the same as wontons just slightly larger. You get more bang for your buck in my option. 

Also, I always have chicken bone broth stored in my freezer and that is what I used for this soup.

I encourage you to use a bone broth soup for this recipe as it will just taste more traditional. Than say a Campbell’s soup stock that comes from the cartoon. 

Making real wonton soup from scratch takes time.

• Average 2 – hours to make the wontons
• Average 8 – hours to make the chicken or vegetable stock
• Average 30 to bring it all together

My recipes saves you all that time, however be sure to have the stock and wontons ready in advance.

Then you can have a hot bowl served in 30 minutes or so. This recipe here can serve a family of 4 for dinner or 6 for appetizer type thing. 

GO AHEAD AND MAKE A BONE BROTH FROM SCRATCH IF YOU HAVE THE TIME. TRUST ME IT ELEVATES THIS SOUP!
