When I need something warm, fast, and extra satisfying, this dumpling soup is my go-to. It comes together in just 30 minutes with frozen dumplings, a flavorful miso-ginger broth, and fresh toppings like chili crisp and scallions. It’s one of those meals that feels like takeout—but better, because it’s homemade and totally customizable.Step-by-step photos can be seen below the recipe card.
