Spicy Chili Oil Dumpling Soup

Is it soup season yet? For me yes , sure it is. I can have hot bowl of soup in cold winter days for lunch or dinner. This soup is made by my most favorite ingredients, dumplings and hot chili oil. For this recipe I used ready made dumplings to save the time and I wanted to try this specific packaged one. But if you already made it and froze it then you can use that too or you can make fresh one too. The whole thing with the readymade dumplings came together in less than 15 minutes and who don't like quick diner on week nights?
