3. Cover the pot and allow the soup to come back up to a boil. Boil the dumplings for about 2 minutes or until they are cooked through. (Consult package directions.)

5. Split the soup into 2 serving bowls and top with any desired condiments.

Notes

The Chef uses Better Than Bouillon mixed to make all of our broths. If substituted with a low-sodium broth, the final dish may need more salt.

You can use any flavour (pork, vegetable, chicken, etc.), but I prefer ones with pork and vegetables.

Or baby bok choy.
