Soup Dinner Recipes

For me, there can never be a wrong time for soups. So I love it when I come across new soup dishes that can be incorporated into my dinner rotations.

Last year, I tried the hot and sour dumpling soup for the first time in a restaurant. It was so incredibly good, I was hooked! And while trying to recreate that delicious taste, I’ve refined the recipe for it after much trial.

But I also incorporated some noodles into the dish as well to turn it into a fuller meal. And the whole process can all be done within just 20 minutes!

Hot And Sour Soup With Dumplings And Noodles

As you can guess from it’s name, the soup for this Chinese dish has a sour taste. It’s mostly thanks to this ingredient: vinegar. Traditionally, Chinese black vinegar is used, but I substitute it with rice vinegar.

This dish also has a spicy kick with additions such as gochugaru and if you’re feeling up to it, Sichuan pepper powder.

It’s pretty simple to make. Add the soup base ingredients into a bowl, then pour hot oil onto it in order to coax the flavors out. Cook the dumplings and noodles, before adding those and some of the hot dumpling water (or chicken broth) into the bowl.

You can have your pick at the type of dumplings you’d like to add to the dish. Here’s a recipe for my Chicken and Shrimp Dumplings that goes really well with this recipe.
