Description
A warm and hearty soup featuring tender potstickers in a flavorful broth with vibrant veggies and a hint of ginger, perfect for chilly fall evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12–15 frozen potstickers (pork, chicken, shrimp, or veggie)
- 6 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
- 3 cups chopped baby bok choy
- 2 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
- Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, lime
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in 6 cups of chicken broth (or vegetable broth). Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add 2 cups of sliced mushrooms, 1 cup of thinly sliced carrots, and the white parts of 2 green onions. Simmer for 5 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
- Carefully drop in 12-15 frozen potstickers. Let them cook in the broth for about 8-10 minutes or until they’re tender and heated through.
- Add 3 cups of chopped baby bok choy and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the green parts of the green onions. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with optional garnishes like fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, or a squeeze of lime.
Notes
[‘Don’t overcrowd the pot with too many potstickers to ensure even cooking.’, ‘Freshly grated ginger adds a depth of flavor that powdered ginger cannot replicate.’, ‘Taste the broth and adjust seasoning as needed. A pinch of sugar can balance out the soy sauce.’, ‘Keep the soup warm on low heat if not serving immediately to avoid overcooking the potstickers.’]
