This Asian vegetable and dumpling soup is so comforting and delicious. It features Asian flavors, like sesame and garlic. It uses premade dumplings, making it a cinch to put together!

The base of this soup has a nice sesame, garlic and ginger flavor with bell peppers, green onions and zucchini.
You can use whatever type of dumping you desire. I love Trader Joes frozen dumplings, I used pork in the soup pictured in this post but chicken, mushroom or vegetable would also taste delicious!

I have the option to use Szechuan pepper in this recipe, it will give it a classic Asian flavor but black pepper also works great.
