Description
Quick and comforting potsticker soup with the satisfying bite of dumplings and fresh greens in a savory broth.
Ingredients
- Dumplings (fresh or frozen potstickers)
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 cups chopped greens (such as spinach or bok choy)
- Soy sauce to taste
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into a large pot and warm it over medium heat until it’s gently simmering.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the simmering broth. Stir and let them cook briefly for about 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the dumplings carefully, spacing them out. Cook according to the package instructions — typically 6–8 minutes for frozen, less for fresh, until the dumpling skins are tender and the filling is hot.
- Stir in the chopped greens and a splash of soy sauce. Let the greens wilt in the hot broth for 1–2 minutes; taste and adjust seasoning.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Use vegetable broth and vegetarian dumplings for a meat-free version. Ginger adds the best flavor, but ground ginger can be a substitute in a pinch.
