Name: Dinner Tonight: Dumpling Noodle Soup Recipe
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 2
Ingredients: 4 cups chicken broth; 1 tablespoon soy sauce; 4 scallions, sliced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 thumb-size piece of ginger, peeled and minced; 10 to 20 dumplings, depending on size

Some days, convenience is paramount when it comes to dinner. On the way home I picked up a package of Chinese frozen pork dumplings and, for perhaps the first time since college, a package of ramen noodles. On a cloudy November day I had visions of a rich broth with spicy scallions, ginger, tender dumplings, and handfuls of noodles. I got my wish.

The recipe for the broth could have gone a number of ways. For this soup I began with chicken stock, then added soy sauce, scallions, plus minced ginger and garlic. Another version could have begun with miso paste and dashi, or perhaps a tablespoon of fish sauce then the soy. Either way, it all comes to a boil with the vegetables (no sautéing needed), then the dumplings and the noodles are added and simmered until cooked through. After only ten minutes, your dumpling noodle soup is ready.

4 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 scallions
2 clove garlic, minced
1 thumb-size piece ginger, peeled and minced
10 to 20 dumplings, depending on size

Bring the broth, soy sauce, and vegetables to a boil over medium heat. Reserve some raw scallions for topping the soup.
Add the dumplings and/or noodles, working backwards to time them according to package directions. My dumplings went in first for about 5 minutes, then an additional 3 once the noodles were added.
Divide among soup bowls and top with scallions.
