A no-fuss dumpling soup made from frozen dumplings, egg noodles and bok choy cooked in an easy homemade broth.
It never hurts to have a few easy meals up you sleeve. Turn your frozen bag of dumplings into the star of this hearty Dumpling Noodle Soup, made with fresh green veggies and an easy homemade broth.
Another hack for this meal - precooked egg noodles! Super slurpy and delicious. The basic broth is made from pantry staples and is very easy to put together.
If you want to make your own dumplings from scratch, you could use my delicious recipe for Pork and Ginger Dumplings. This makes quite a few dumplings so you could always eat some for a meal, then freeze some to make soup another day!
How to make this soup:
Add all of the ingredients for the broth to a large pot and bring to a boil.
Add the frozen dumplings and simmer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile cut the bok choy in half and wash well under water. Slice up the chilli and spring onion.
After 5 minutes add the bok choy and egg noodles to the pot and cook for 2 minutes. Use tongs to serve up the dumplings into bowls, add the noodles and bok choy then ladle over the hot broth.
Top with fresh chilli, spring onions and coriander. Serve immediately while it is hot.

Recipe FAQs:
Use your favourite! I used pork and prawn but any flavour would work.
No, it's not. Dumpling wrappers and egg noodles both contain gluten.
Storage:
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat on the stove top or in the microwave.
I wouldn't recommend freezing dumpling noodle soup.
Top tips:
Pre made dumplings can be found in the freezer section at most supermarkets or Asian specialty stores.

What could I use instead of garlic? Sorry I can’t tolerate it unfortunately but would love to try this recipe:)
VJ cooks says
You could use garlic chives, a pinch of ground cumin or some black peppercorns (but remove them from the broth before serving if you don't want to chomp through them!)
Jaimie says
Can this be reheated if there’s leftovers
VJ cooks says
Yes! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until piping hot.
Courtney says
Would this work with bone broth instead of stock cubes or would this be less flavour diluted ?
VJ cooks says
No, that would be delicious! You could always add extra seasoning at the end if you needed to.
Eve says
Can you use jar garlic and ginger?
Vanya Insull says
Hi Eve, yes you sure can if that's what you have on hand. 🙂
Kayla says
Hiya,
Does the chilli make this a spicy meal? Never used chilli in a meal due to the kids and their taste buds however they love dumplings so want to give this one a go.
VJ cooks says
You can leave it out altogether, or just add it on the adults' plates at the end. 🙂
Renee says
Hi can this be done in the slow cooker please
VJ cooks says
Hi Renee, this meal is cooked in 15 minutes! No need for a slow cooker.
Dawn Vincent says
Love this recipe, making again today.
VJ cooks says
Oh yay, thanks Dawn 🙂
Nikki says
This is so good! Made it tonight. What else can could I do with this broth?? It's soooo good I want to put it on everything!!
VJ cooks says
You could use it as the base of a chicken noodle soup or a vegetable soup if you like.
Emilia says
Insanely easy, fast to make and delicious! This will definitely become a staple at our place.
VJ cooks says
Yes! Don't we all need a few of those meals up our sleeve? Thanks for your feedback, Emilia.
Emily says
How would this go doubling up the ingredients do you think it would still turn out the same or less flavour
VJ cooks says
I think it would work. You could always alter to taste after it's made.
jenna cossey says
Hi I have just an all purpose soy sauce from my local Chinese chop would that be ok.
And do we place dumplings in frozen or defrosted thanks
VJ cooks says
Yes any soy sauce will work. Dumplings go in frozen 🙂
Ellie says
Are pre-cooked egg noodles the dried ones or are they soft? What brand is suitable in New Zealand?
VJ cooks says
They are soft egg noodles, also called Hokkien noodles. If you google that phrase you'll be able to see which supermarkets near you have them in stock 🙂
Esra says
I love dumplings, so I make a large batch of beef and napa cabbage dumplings once a month and freeze them. I also enjoy trying different dishes made with dumplings, so here I am sharing my thoughts. I really love this recipe because it’s a one-pot, easy dish. I omit the eggs since I already get enough protein from the dumplings. I add extra black pepper because I love the flavor. I use napa cabbage since I always have it on hand. Finally, I sprinkle some dried seaweed and white and black sesame seeds on top. It’s delicious!
VJ cooks says
Sounds amazing! Thanks for the feedback Esra. This is such a popular recipe 🙂
Kate says
Delicious! I used ramen noodles, chilli flakes (as I didn't have fresh) and added some frozen prawns. Will teach my son to make this as a flatting meal.
VJ cooks says
Yes! It's an easy, tasty meal!
