Best Giant Shrimp Chicken Dumpling Soup Recipes

SHRIMP DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• Pat dry the shrimp with paper towels and roughly chop. Place the shrimp in a medium bowl and stir in the green onions, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle in the cornstarch and mix until evenly combined.
• Lay 6-7 dumpling wrappers on a clean work surface. Scoop 1 teaspoon of shrimp filling on each wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrappers with water and fold the wrappers in half to create a semi-circle. Press firmly around the edges to ensure a good seal pushing out any air as you go. Then brush the folded edges of each dumping with more water and fold in the two sides. Press to seal. Lay the dumplings on a plate and cover loosely with a clean towel or some wax paper. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. You will have some extra filling leftover which will be used in the soup broth.
• Heat sesame oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add green onions and leftover shrimp filling and cook until shrimp is mostly cooked through. Stir in chicken broth scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add ginger, soy sauce, and Chinese cooking wine. Bring broth a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes.
• Remove ginger pieces and add half of the dumplings. Cook dumplings for 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings from the broth and evenly divide them into two serving bowls. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
• Taste the broth and season to taste with salt as needed. Ladle the soup broth into the serving bowls. Garnish with additional green onions, if desired.

CHICKEN DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine 3 cups cooked chicken, eggs, 3/4 cup chicken broth, 1 cup flour, parsley, 2 teaspoons salt, pepper and tarragon. Process until smooth.
• In a large pot, bring 4 cups chicken broth to a boil. Drop dumpling mixture by rounded spoonfuls into boiling broth. Simmer, uncovered, 5 to 8 minutes, until well formed and slightly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve dumpling cooking liquid.
• In a large pot melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion, celery and garlic in butter until onion is translucent. Stir in 1/2 cup flour until fully incorporated. Pour in 2 quarts chicken broth, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Introduce 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and carrots. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
• Stir in dumplings, reserved liquid and 3 cups cooked chicken. Simmer 15 minutes more before serving.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• For the soup stock: Combine the chicken, peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic, thyme, carrot chunks, celery chunks, quartered onion, parsnip chunks, 3 sprigs dill and 3 sprigs parsley in a large pot. Add cold water to cover by 2 inches (about 5 quarts). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is very tender, for at least 1 1/2 hours (or up to 2 hours if you have the time. The longer the better!) Add more water, as needed, skimming off scum (there won't be much) and, if desired, some fat.
• Carefully strain the stock, discarding everything except for the chicken. (You should have 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 quarts of stock.) Set the chicken aside to cool briefly while you put together the rest of the soup. Return the strained stock to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Add the sliced carrot, sliced celery, chopped onion, sliced parsnip, chopped dill, chopped parsley and the salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings: In a small saucepan, bring the butter and 3/4 cup water to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour. Let cool for a few minutes so it's not so hot that it will cook the eggs, then whisk in the salt, sugar, nutmeg and the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated into a slightly lumpy thick batter. (It'll take a little work to whisk in the eggs.)
• Drop heaping teaspoons of the dumpling mixture into the simmering soup, then cover and cook until the vegetables are tender and the dumplings are cooked through; begin checking for doneness at 15 minutes.
• Pull the chicken meat off the bones and chop into bite-sized pieces. Season it with salt, then add it to the soup along with the ground black pepper. Taste and add more salt as needed. This is important: The amount of salt in a chicken soup can mean the difference between unappetizing chicken tea and the elixir of bubble love that it should be. So don't skip this step, and don't rush it, either. Taste your soup, and if it doesn't make you smile reflexively, add more salt, about a 1/2 teaspoon of it, and give it a few good stirs so it can dissolve. Taste and repeat, as needed, until it tastes good.
• Serve, garnishing with fresh parsley.

QUICK CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a large pot, melt the butter over medium. Add the carrots, leek, celery, garlic, rosemary, thyme and poultry seasoning, if using. Season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the flour, then cook, stirring, 2 minutes. (This cooks the flour to soften its raw flavor.) Gradually stir in the stock and cream, and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Once the mixture boils, stir in the gnocchi, reduce the heat to medium and cook until gnocchi and vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken in the last couple of minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with fresh tarragon and more black pepper, if desired.

SHRIMP-AND-CHIVE-DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• Make the dumplings: Coarsely chop shrimp and ginger in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in chives. Mound 1 teaspoon in center of each wrapper. Moisten edges with wet fingertips; fold over, pressing to seal. Cover with a damp paper towel; refrigerate until ready to use (up to 3 hours).
• Make the soup: Bring stock, chile, and star anise to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Cook for 5 minutes. Add dumplings. Simmer until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the bok choy: Steam bok choy in water in a skillet over high heat, covered, until tender, about 3 minutes.
• Stir mushrooms, soy sauce, radishes, and chives into soup. Serve soup with bok choy on the side.
