My husband was so disappointed at the soup he bought from a soup stall, so I made this for him.Cook the dumplings separately, otherwise the soup will be too cloudy and starchy,When you put the dumplings with a spoon in the boiled water, they slide off easily from the spoon.After adding miso, don't cook for too long. Recipe by @LECHE.

This dish was inspired by a Bon Appetit vid I watched recently where Zaynab Issa made a 5-ingredient soup featuring store bought dumplings. I've always steamed or fried my dumplings (known in our house as pot stickers), so this came as a revelation. I immediately turned to my Asian food guru-of-the-moment (a.k.a. Marion Grasby) to see if she's made one, and it turned out she has. And so, armed with these two sources, I cobbled up my own pot of soup using techniques from each. The result was warm, soothing, light yet satisfying, and totally wonderful on a cold January night.

As the old adage goes: "If the good Lord made anything better - he kept it for himself." Spicy, salty, sour, tangy and sweet! What an authentic Asian delight for you, your family and guests tonight! There may seem like there's a lot of ingredients in this but, you won't regret making this dish!

My mother used to make this soup for me. She used to put some frozen bamboo shoots in this.If the dashi has reduced too much at Step 4, add some water or more dashi. Please adjust the amount of miso to your taste. For 4 servings. Recipe by Koutarochan

I wanted to make a simple yet hearty soup with suiton (wheat dumplings) for the cold-weather, using just a few ingredients that the children would love.From Step 7 on, make sure the soup doesn't come to a boil by heating over low.In Step 8, the photo features dropping in the dough with one spoon because I was holding the camera in the other hand, but it's easier to do if you use two spoons. For 4 servings. Recipe by caramel-cookie

I made this for a friend when she came over for an overnight visit.Roll out the skins so that they are a little thicker in the middle and thinner along the edges to prevent tearing when making the dumplings! For 10 dumplings. Recipe by monemaruku

I ate this a lot when I was a child. It's a great way to have kabocha squash.Adjust the amount of katakuriko depending on how watery the kabocha squash is. If you like a very thick texture, I recommend adding a lot of it. This is a very filling kenchin soup, so think of it as a side dish. For 2 servings. Recipe by Yo-tan

The gyoza dumplings I ate at a restaurant didn't have Chinese chives, but we have to have them in ours at our house!!You don't have to add the grilled and minced chicken. The gyoza dumplings without it are just as good. However, using the grilled chicken will definitely add more texture and a better fragrance!! Please give it a try! For 4 servings.

I wanted to eat xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) after seeing them on TV but wasn't really sure how to make the skins and didn't even have a steamer. So I used a frying pan and gyoza skins instead.- The soup will not melt easily when you mix it with the half-frozen ground pork.- Keep the soup and the filling in the refrigerator until just before using them.- You can also wrap the dumplings like gyoza if they're difficult to wrap.

My mother's dumpling soup is very tasty so I wanted to have a go to make mine.Don't cook too many dumplings at same time.Some pots will make the dumplings at the bottom. In that case use a spatula to remove the dumplings. Recipe by Jini-

As a crazy busy Chef and Culinary Instructor, you know I'm obviously all about the, "deliciously easy." After all, who ever said super easy and pre-fabed food can't be absolutely nom nom nommy!? The stuck up. That's who!Anyway, at 1:00 a.m., last night my ravenous wife woke and decided she had a terrible craving for a spicy, steamy, Asian Hot & Sour Soup. Preferably Thai based. Hence the use of coconut, lime, Thai Basil, Thai Chilies and fresh mint. [all optional ingredients] With of course, her favorite thick, meaty, steamed juicy dumplings.She also politely [rolling eyes] requested it all with the quickness. So, I decided to incorporate both for her temperamental, demamding midnight tummy. Since her wish is my eternal command, I obliged. Tho I'll easily admit, I do love making that sweet little baby girl smile. No matter what time of night it is!Anywho, if you have these basic Asian ingredients at the ready, this dish can be made with lightening speed. My total prep time was less than 5 minutes. Three minutes actually. My total simmer time was less than 5 minutes as well. [thank God cause my girl was beyond hungry. in fact, she was what i'd actually call, "hangry"] Sheeze! I'm surprised she didn't bite me.In the end, she adored her tummy soothing, spicy dumpling soup and fell right back into deep slumber. So all in all, know I'm a happy spouse and Chef! Albit a bit sleepy. 😴 Oh well, happy wife - happy life, right?!I hope it pleases you and yours as well! With that, remember - "Always marry a Chef. Looks fade. Hunger doesn't."
