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.

What could I use instead of garlic? Sorry I can’t tolerate it unfortunately but would love to try this recipe:)
VJ cooks
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!)

Can this be reheated if there’s leftovers
VJ cooks
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.
