About Dumplings in soup

Dumplings in soup are a versatile dish enjoyed in many global cuisines, with roots in Asia, Europe, and North America. The dumplings are made from dough and often filled with meat, vegetables, or seafood, simmered in a savory broth. Nutritionally, the dish's profile varies based on ingredients; dumplings typically provide carbohydrates from the dough and protein from fillings, while the broth contributes hydration, minerals, and flavor. Chicken or vegetable broth-based soups can boost sodium, potassium, and micronutrients like vitamin A, depending on included vegetables. The dish is hearty yet easily customizable to meet diverse dietary preferences.

Health Benefits

• Rich in protein when made with meat or tofu fillings, which supports muscle growth and repair.
• Provides carbohydrates from the dough, offering a quick energy source.
• Can be a source of essential vitamins like vitamin B12 from meat or iron from leafy greens in vegetarian versions.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, gluten, eggs, soy (if used in fillings), shellfish (if included)

Suitable for: Omnivorous, vegetarian (using non-meat fillings), dairy-free (if no cream-based broth is used)

Not suitable for: Gluten-free (unless made with alternative flours), vegan (unless specific vegan fillings and dough used), low-carb diets

Selection and Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop for best results. Dumplings may soften in storage; avoid overcooking during reheating.

Common Questions About Dumplings in soup Nutrition

How many calories are in dumplings in soup?

The calorie count of dumplings in soup depends on the type of dumplings and broth used, but on average, one serving (1 cup) contains around 150-300 calories. If the dumplings are made with pork or beef, the calorie count is higher, while vegetable-filled dumplings and light broth are lower in calories.

Can I eat dumplings in soup on a keto or low-carb diet?

Dumplings in soup are typically not keto-friendly due to the flour wrappers used, which are high in carbohydrates. However, you can adapt the recipe by making dumplings with almond flour or coconut flour wrappers and using a keto-friendly broth.

What are the health benefits or concerns of eating dumplings in soup?

Dumplings in soup can provide a balanced meal with protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates, especially when made with nutrient-rich fillings like vegetables and lean meats. However, they can be high in sodium if the broth is heavily seasoned or store-bought, which may not be ideal for those with high blood pressure or heart concerns.

What is the recommended portion size for dumplings in soup?

A typical serving size is 4-6 dumplings accompanied by about 1 cup of broth. This keeps the meal balanced without excessive calories or sodium. Adjust portions based on your calorie needs and hunger levels.

How do dumplings in soup compare to steamed or pan-fried dumplings?

Dumplings in soup are usually lower in calories and fat compared to pan-fried dumplings, as they are cooked in liquid rather than oil. Steamed dumplings are similar in calorie content, but soup dumplings add additional flavor and hydration from the broth.
