Spicy Dumpling Soup

Warm up with this flavorful, comforting soup featuring veggie dumplings, bok choy, and shiitake mushrooms, all simmered in a rich vegan broth with a kick from soy sauce and chili crisp. Thanks to a handy package of frozen vegetable dumplings from the freezer aisle, this light yet satisfying meal comes together effortlessly for the perfect cozy dish.

Ingredients:

4 scallions
3 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
5 oz. package sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms
1 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks (about 2 Tbsp)
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped (about 1 Tbsp)
5 cups vegetable broth
5 Tbsp lower-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
16 frozen miniature vegetable dumplings or potstickers (9 1/2 oz. total)
4 small heads baby bok choy, trimmed, leaves separated
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp chili crisp, plus more for topping (optional)

Directions:

  1. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white and light green parts from the dark green parts.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, ginger, garlic, and the white and light green scallion slices. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is fragrant and starting to soften.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, undisturbed.
  4. Stir in the frozen dumplings and bok choy. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the dumplings float to the surface and the bok choy is tender, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the chili crisp.
  5. Serve the soup topped with dark green scallion slices and, if desired, a little more chili crisp for an extra kick!
