Made this tonight for supper, and what's not to like? Easy prep, clean flavors, and--my goodness--who's going to complain about dumplings? Two small changes: I took the advice of one of the other commenters here and added a bit of soy sauce midway through (we also passed some tamari around the table later); also, although the stated recipe calls for a "medium saucepan," I used a large saucepan and will likely bump up to a small dutch oven next time, just to ensure plenty of room.

This was DELICIOUS. I am definatley adding this to my dinner rotation. I made my own dumplings w/ ground chicken. Use the Japenese Dumpling recipe on Martha Stewart.com !! So yummy

For a vegetarian soup use vegable broth and vegetable dumplings.

Adding a bit of low sodium soy sauce or tamari (aged soy sauce) would add some extra flavor dimensions to the soup.

I would also add a bit of low sodium soy sauce or tamari sauce for added flavor.

I make my own soups and have frequently added ready made frozen Japanese Dumplings (called Gyoza). These dumplings are very similar to Chinese Potsticker Dumplings in taste and content.I would buy the dumplings in either chicken, shrimp, or vegetable varieties in bags at Trader Joe's Markets. Very tasty!

The idea is for quick and healthy. Pick another day to make your scratch dumplings and put them in your freezer. Who has time after work to make them? As in any recipe substitutions can be made to suit your own taste, mushrooms, onions etc. This sounds like a fabulous recipe. Prepared frozen meatballs would be good in this recipe, any flavour. ktcanada

My goodness, I love the frozen dumpling idea. Perfect for nights when I can't or don't want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen! I am sure Katee24 is correct about finding the recipe for the dumpling itself.

most grocery stores carry a brand of frozen dumplings - check the frozen horsdeuvers section. : )

i bought some of the wonton wrappers to do another recipe and there was a great dumpling recipe included on the packaging.
