How to Make Potsticker Soup (Overview)

Making Potsticker Soup is as easy as 1-2-3 (okay, maybe 6, but you get the point). Start by heating that sesame oil and letting the aroma of garlic and ginger dance in your kitchen. Pro tip: Don’t skip toasting the garlic — it makes all the difference! Once your broth simmers like a warm bath, toss in the frozen potstickers. They’ll soak up all that rich flavor while adding their savory charm. Just before serving, stir in those vibrant greens for an extra pop of color and nutrition.

How to Serve Potsticker Soup

Serve this delightful soup hot, and watch the steam rise as you ladle it into bowls. You’ll get a splash of green from the greens and golden browns from the potstickers, creating a feast for the eyes. Top with fresh green onions for a little crunch and a punch of flavor. Pair it with crispy spring rolls for a delightful Chinese-inspired feast; your kitchen might just become the hottest spot in town! 😉

How to Store Potsticker Soup

Got leftovers? No problem! This soup keeps well in the fridge for about 3 days, or you can stash it in the freezer for up to a month. Just make sure to let it cool before transferring to an airtight container. When you’re ready to dive back in, simply reheat on the stovetop or microwave until nice and hot.

Tips to Make Potsticker Soup

• Timing is everything: Add the greens last so they stay vibrant and crisp.
• Looking for a thicker broth? You can whisk in a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water.
• Want to spice things up? A dash of red pepper flakes can wake the soup right up!
• Feel free to switch out greens for whatever you have on hand. Bok choy? Kale? Go wild!
• If you’re out of potstickers, dumplings or even wontons can step in just fine!

Variation

Want to mix it up? You can easily make this soup vegan by swapping out the chicken broth with vegetable broth and using plant-based potstickers. Add some tofu for that added protein punch, and you’ll have a soup that everyone can enjoy!
