Ingredients

• 12 pieces Frozen dumplings (your choice of filling)
• 6 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 1 cup Carrots, julienned
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Chili oil (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 2

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.

Step 3

Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the broth, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Carefully add the frozen dumplings to the boiling broth, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook according to the package instructions, typically 6-8 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are fully cooked.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the julienned carrots and let them simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften.

Step 6

Stir in the baby spinach and sliced green onions, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.

Step 7

Taste the broth and adjust the seasonings with additional soy sauce or salt, if needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving gets a fair share of dumplings and vegetables.

Step 9

Drizzle with a little chili oil, if desired, for extra heat, and serve immediately.
