Inspiration: Looking for a quick weeknight dinner, I perused The Pioneer Woman’s Super Easy! cookbook and found a Speedy Dumpling Soup. 

And as advertised, it is quick and simple. 

Now. Since I’ve been working on mastering ramen recipes — instead of sticking with the recipe, I doctored the vegetable broth using Let’s Make Ramen‘s quick broth recipe. Then, because I can’t have broccoli (due to the sulfites), I swapped the broccoli slaw for a veggie medley of bell pepper, peas, micro-planed celery root, and matchstick carrots. For the dumplings, I used Bibigo’s Korean Style mini chicken & veggie wontons. 

And let me tell you — it was great!

Christie: I can see Captain Hastings ordering a version of this soup whilst in the midst of investigating a case with Poirot — when he needs to refuel!
