15-Minute Trader Joes Dumpling Soup Recipe

This savory, comforting Trader Joes Dumpling Soup Recipe is made with mini wontons, ginger miso broth, and fresh spinach, ready in just 15 minutes. The frozen dumplings plump up and float to the surface of the steaming, fragrant liquid when perfectly cooked. I love keeping these ingredients on hand for a fast weeknight meal.

Better Than Takeaway

I used to order wonton soup every time I craved something warm, but the delivery fees quickly added up. Creating this at home using simple store-bought shortcuts proved to be much faster and cheaper.

My biggest surprise was how much flavor the pre-made miso ginger broth adds without any extra effort. I learned that simmering the vegetables briefly keeps them crisp instead of turning them to mush.

Trader Joes Dumpling Soup Recipe Ingredients

• 1 carton (32 oz) Trader Joe’s Miso Ginger Broth
• 1 bag (12 oz) Trader Joe’s Chicken Cilantro Mini Wontons (frozen)
• 2 cups fresh spinach or baby bok choy
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tbsp Trader Joe’s Chili Onion Crunch (optional)

How To Make Trader Joes Dumpling Soup Recipe

1. Boil the broth: Pour the miso ginger broth and soy sauce into a medium pot and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the dumplings: Drop the frozen mini wontons directly into the boiling broth and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until they float to the top.
3. Add the greens: Stir in the fresh spinach or bok choy and let it wilt for 1 minute.
4. Garnish and serve: Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the sesame oil, and divide into bowls topped with sliced green onions.

Recipe Tips

• Keep a steady simmer: Do not boil the broth too vigorously, or the delicate dumpling wrappers might tear apart.
• Customize the veggies: Feel free to toss in shredded carrots, snap peas, or mushrooms during the first step.
• Cook from frozen: Never thaw the wontons beforehand, as they will stick together and become gummy.

What To Serve With Dumpling Soup

Pair this quick soup with crispy spring rolls or a side of steamed edamame. It also works beautifully alongside a crunchy cabbage salad dressed with a simple sesame vinaigrette.

How To Store

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The dumplings will absorb some broth and soften over time, so reheat gently on the stove. I do not recommend freezing this soup once cooked.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of broth?
Yes, regular chicken or vegetable broth works well. You may want to add fresh grated ginger and minced garlic to mimic the original flavor.

Can I use larger potstickers instead of mini wontons?
Absolutely. Just increase the boiling time by a few minutes until they are thoroughly cooked and floating.

Is this soup vegetarian?
It easily can be. Simply use vegetable broth and swap the chicken wontons for your favorite vegetable-filled dumplings.
