CampbellâsÂź Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Dumplings Recipe
Tools
- Crushed Ice Tray or ΠBaking sheet
- Steamer Basket
- Parchment Paper
- Chefâs Knife
- Japanese Soup Spoons
- Chopsticks
Ingredients
- 1 can of CampbellâsÂź Condensed Tomato Soup
- Wonton wrappers
- Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
- Pour the full can of CampbellâsÂź Condensed Tomato Soup into a crushed ice tray. If you donât have a crushed ice tray, pour soup into a ÂŒ size baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
- Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
- Pop the soupy cubes out of the ice tray and into a bowl. If youâre using a baking sheet, flip it onto a cutting board and coax the frozen soup out. Dice into â inch cubes.
- Place the soupy cubes back in the freezer while you prep your wontons.
- Hold a wonton wrapper in the palm of one hand and spoon some of the frozen soupy cubes into the center of the wrapper. Use your thumbs to create pleats in a circular shape around the filling until the wrapper covers all but the top of the filling. Then gather the pleated top of the wrapper between your thumb and your first two fingers and twist to seal the gap. Honestly â that was impossible to write out, you should watch the video and it will make way more sense.
- Place dumplings into a parchment lined steamer basket. Donât overcrowd the steamer to avoid the dumplings sticking to each other.
- Cover the basket and place over a pot of boiling water for 6-8 minutes.
- As dumplings are steaming, set a pan over medium heat to make little grilled cheese skirts.
- When the dumplings are done steaming, remove the steamer basket from the pot and set aside.
- Place small handfuls of cheddar cheese directly on the hot pan. As the cheese melts, the bottom will start to spread and crisp into a lacy skirt-like shape.
- Once the cheese has dark brown, crispy edges and the top is still gooey and bubbling, gently pick up one dumpling at a time and place it directly on to the top of a cheese skirt for a couple seconds. Once the dumpling and cheese fuse together, place onto a parchment lined plate to cool and crisp up.
- Continue with all of the dumplings until youâve got them all dressed and ready to party.
- Serve immediately â but be careful not to burn your mouth on these things â I always burn my mouth on these things.
