Finding gluten-free alternatives to classic dishes is always a win, especially when it comes to indulgent favorites like dumplings! Today, I’m excited to share my thoughts on Feel Good Foods Chicken Soup Dumplings—a frozen, gluten-free take on this beloved Chinese dish.
Product Overview
- Name: Gluten-free Chicken Soup Dumplings
- Brand: Feel Good Foods
- Type of Dish: Frozen, Chinese dumplings
- Certification: Certified gluten-free
- Availability: Purchased at Sprouts Farmer’s Market
- Price: Unfortunately, I don’t recall the exact price, but it felt reasonable for what I got.
Packaging and Cooking Instructions
The packaging is simple and easy to spot in the frozen section. The dumplings come in a convenient tray, ready to heat. Cooking is incredibly easy: pop them in the microwave for 2 minutes. I added an extra 30 seconds, but that was a bit too much, as the dumplings started leaking their delicious soup. Lesson learned—stick to the instructions!
Convenience Factor
When it comes to convenience, these dumplings are a win. With minimal prep and cleanup, you have a satisfying meal ready in minutes. It’s perfect for those busy days when you need a quick, gluten-free fix.
Taste and Texture
Now, for the best part—the taste! These dumplings are delicious. The flavor of the chicken soup filling is rich and savory, though the dumpling wrappers are slightly chewier compared to traditional dumplings. It’s still a great alternative for those avoiding gluten. However, I did find a small piece of grizzle in the filling, which slightly detracted from the experience.
Portion Size and Nutritional Profile
Each box contains six dumplings, and I found that to be an adequate portion for one meal. Unfortunately, I don’t have the nutritional information on hand, but Feel Good Foods is known for offering balanced meals with clean ingredients. It’s worth checking the packaging for specifics on calories, fat, and protein content.
Pros and Cons
Pros:

- Quick and easy to prepare
- Tastes great, rich chicken flavor
Cons:
- The Dumpling wrapper can be a little chewy
- Minor grizzle found in the filling
Personal Experience
I first tried soup dumplings in Vancouver in 2019 before our Disney Alaska Cruise, and I never thought I’d have the chance to enjoy them again, especially gluten-free! So, when I spotted these at Sprouts, I was beyond excited. The dumplings did not disappoint, and I’ll definitely be purchasing them again.
Value for Money
While I don’t remember the exact price, I felt that the taste, quality, and portion size made it worth the purchase. It’s one of the best gluten-free products I’ve come across.
Comparison to Other Gluten-Free Products
I’ve tried quite a few gluten-free frozen meals, and these gluten free soup dumplings rank high on my list. They’re much better than the average gluten-free dumplings I’ve tried, both in flavor and texture.
Final Verdict
Would I recommend these? Absolutely! If you’re gluten-free and craving authentic flavors, Feel Good Foods Chicken Soup Dumplings are a must-try. I’m giving them a 4.5 out of 5 stars, deducting just a little for the grizzle issue.
