How to Make Our Dumpling Soup
Step 1: Prepare the Dumplings
Combine the chicken mince, spring onions, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce in a bowl.
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly wet the edges with water and fold to seal.
Step 2: Start the Broth
Heat the sesame oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Cook the onion for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Build the Soup
Pour in the chicken stock and soy sauce. Bring to a gentle boil.
Add the shredded chicken and spinach. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Cook the Dumplings
Carefully drop the dumplings into the simmering broth.
Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the dumplings float and the filling is fully cooked.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
Stir in most of the sliced spring onions and season to taste.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with the remaining spring onions before serving.

Tips & FAQs
Can I make this soup ahead of time?
Yes. Prepare the broth and dumplings separately, then cook the dumplings when ready to serve.
Can I use turkey mince instead of chicken?
Absolutely. Lean turkey works very well and keeps the recipe high in protein.
Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?
Yes. The broth stores beautifully and makes an excellent lunch option throughout the week.
Can I add more vegetables?
Definitely. Mushrooms, pak choi, cabbage, and carrots all work well.
How do I prevent dumplings from falling apart?
Make sure the wrapper edges are sealed tightly with water before cooking.
