This is my high protein take on the viral gyoza or dumpling soup! I absolutely loved this cozy and delicious recipe and it has been on repeat in our household in the colder months since it first went viral! It makes for the most delicious and cozy dinner or quick lunch and I hope you love it as much as we do!

This is a top view of my higher protein easy viral gyoza soup with chili crunch in the middle in a bowl.

If you love this recipe, you will love my one pot Libyan soup, my simple middle eastern lentil soup, and my healthy instant pot chicken noodle soup.

Ingredients

Olive or avocado oil (optional)
Chili crunch: I personally prefer Momofuku Foods brand, but Trader Joe’s also has their chili onion crunch that you can use!
Green onions, chopped (whites used too)
Organic silken tofu: also adds additional protein and pairs very nicely with the soup + adds texture.
Salt, to taste (optional)
Gyoza or Dumplings: I used the shrimp gyoza from TJs but feel free to choose your favorite.
Fresh Cilantro, chopped
Kettle & Fire Turmeric ginger bone broth: You can also use any other flavor of bone broth you’d like. I used bone broth to add some additional protein to the meal as well as key nutrients.

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Add about 1 teaspoon of olive or avocado oil to a pan on medium high heat, if using. I used this so that it wasn’t too spicy. If you like yours spicy, skip this and just add additional chili crunch. And then add in most of your green onions. You can leave a few out to garnish. Then add in your chili crunch.
Sauté for about 30 seconds. Then add in your silken tofu. Use a spatula to slightly break it apart. Salt, to taste. Then add in your frozen dumplings followed by most of your cilantro and then your bone broth.
Cover and let sit for 5-7 minutes until your soup begins to boil and your dumplings are cooked through. Remove from heat. Serve and then top with additional cilantro that you’ve set aside along with the green onions. You can also add more chili crunch!

Hint: Make sure not to overcook the dumplings or gyoza or they will start to fall apart.

Equipment

All you need to make this easy viral gyoza soup is:

A Medium (6-7 quart) Dutch Oven: Here is a cheap dutch oven if you are in the market for one. I have the Le Creuset Enamled pan as well as the Caraway dutch oven which I also love! You can also just use a 6-7 quart pot.
