Ingredients

Scale

Potstickers and Broth

  • Frozen potstickers (quantity as desired, typically 12-16 pieces)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Aromatics and Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Vegetables and Garnish

  • 1 cup baby spinach or bok choy leaves
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Broth: Pour chicken or vegetable broth into a large pot and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. This warm, flavorful base will soak up the seasonings and infuse the potstickers with delicious taste.
  2. Add Aromatics: Stir in freshly minced garlic and ginger, letting them cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. These ingredients add depth and awaken the flavors in the broth with their bright, savory notes.
  3. Cook the Potstickers: Drop frozen potstickers directly into the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions, usually 6–8 minutes, until they float and the filling is heated through.
  4. Add Greens and Season: Gently stir in baby spinach or bok choy leaves, allowing them to wilt in the hot broth within a minute. Then add soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil to round out your soup’s flavor profile.
  5. Final Touches and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions on top just before serving for a fresh, zesty contrast. Ladle your Quick and Delicious Potsticker Soup into bowls and enjoy it hot for maximum comfort.

Notes

  • Use quality broth: A rich broth makes all the difference, so choose a low-sodium option and adjust seasoning yourself.
  • Don’t overcook potstickers: Keep an eye on them—they should be tender but not falling apart.
  • Add veggies last: This keeps greens vibrant and prevents them from becoming mushy.
  • Customize seasoning: Taste before serving and adjust soy sauce or sesame oil to your liking.
  • Garnish generously: Fresh herbs, sliced chilies, or even a squeeze of lime can add exciting layers of flavor.
