Description
A comforting and flavorful potstickers soup featuring savory broth, aromatics, and fresh greens.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 (16-ounce) bag of frozen potstickers (any variety: chicken, vegetable, beef, or lamb)
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (shiitake or cremini)
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cups baby spinach or chopped bok choy
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: extra green onions or a drizzle of sesame oil
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, warm the toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Add the fresh ginger and minced garlic, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant. This quick step builds the base of the soup’s savory depth—don’t skip it!
- Build the broth: Pour in the broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring the liquid to a simmer. It’s here that the broth starts transforming into something rich and restorative, thanks to the ginger and garlic swirling through.
- Add the mushrooms: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and let them cook for 3–4 minutes until just tender. They soak up the flavors while adding an earthy dimension to the soup.
- Drop in the potstickers: Carefully add the frozen potstickers straight from the bag. Simmer gently according to the package directions—usually about 5 to 6 minutes—until they’re cooked through and floating.
- Finish with greens: Just before serving, stir in the spinach or bok choy and sliced green onions. Cook for another minute until the greens are wilted but vibrant.
- Taste and adjust: Season with salt and pepper as needed. You can also drizzle a little extra sesame oil for added depth.
- Serve hot: Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each gets a good helping of potstickers, mushrooms, and greens. Top with a few extra green onions if desired.
