Ingredient Notes:
Lemongrass: For this dumpling soup specifically, I used lemongrass to add a delicious, fresh flavor to the broth. Lemongrass helps to prevent the growth of some bacteria and yeast, and contains substances that can relieve pain, and swelling, and even reduce fever if you’re sick!
Garlic: Garlic helps boost your immune system which is a necessity during cold and flu season. It can also help reduce your risk of certain diseases and has antibiotic properties.
How to make dumpling soup:
- In a small-medium soup pot, heat oil over medium heat.
- Once warm, add minced garlic, minced black garlic, minced ginger and minced lemongrass. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
- Add chopped yellow squash and cook 3-5 minutes until softened.
- Add in frozen dumpling and stir to incorporate with other ingredients.
- Then add in vegetable stock (or vegetable bouillion and water) and tamari. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until frozen dumplings are just done cook time may also vary according to package directions). Stir in the spinach and remove from the heat.
- Serve in bowls garnished with sliced green onion and (optional) dehydrated garlic.
Expert Tips & FAQ:
What if I don’t have black garlic? If you don’t have black garlic, substitute it with 2 cloves of regular garlic, minced.
Substitutions for yellow squash? Try 1 cup of julienned or chopped carrots or 1 cup of frozen peas.
