Ge Da Tang (Chinese Dough Drop Soup, 疙瘩汤)

Sharing my grandma’s recipe for Ge Da Tang, a Northern Chinese dumpling soup that’s hearty, satisfying, and quick to make. The chicken-based broth gets a boost from ground pork, fresh aromatics, and tomatoes, and is served with chewy dough pieces, delicate egg ribbons, and vibrant bok choy. You can’t miss this one-pot meal if you like soup!
