As a busy working mom, I love quick and easy recipes. Who doesn’t right? This quick and easy dumpling soup is one of my go to recipes for the days when I have less than 30 minutes to get dinner on the table. The incredibly delicious soup can be ready in no time using frozen gyoza. Juicy and yummy shrimp dumplings in a hearty chicken stock. The most comforting soup ever.

My entire family loves this flavorful dumpling soup for dinner. I often make it for iftar during Ramadan. I add in spinach for added nutrition. You can add in bokchoy or carrots too. Chinese dumplings, or gyozas, are sold by the bag in the frozen-food section of most grocery stores. We love the shrimp gyoza but you can use the vegetable gyaoza too.
