Enjoy the Brothy Soup Flavors

The best part about this layered soup dumpling recipe is that there’s more broth sitting at the bottom of the dishes. Don’t waste it. Just use your spoon when scooping through the meat and wrapper layers. Then spoon some of the delicious broth on spoon. Each bite is exactly like what you would taste in a soup dumpling.

Round Dumpling Wrappers or Square Wonton Wrappers?

Both will work! They’re basically made from the same ingredients and they only differ with the shapes. The most important factor in this recipe is choosing a vessel that can fit the wonton or dumpling wrappers.

  • LARGER DISHES: if you want to use a larger baking dish, like an 8×8 square then it’s totally possible. Just layer the wrappers side by side above the meat to create one large layer of wrappers.
  • If you’re using larger dishes, just know that you’ll have a thinner layer of meat. And you’ll need to use more wrappers.
