How to Make Potsticker Soup (Overview)

Making Potsticker Soup is almost as easy as devouring it! Start by sautéing the garlic and ginger for a fragrant base – trust me, don’t skip this step! Next, whip up the broth and add in your veggies for a color splash. Toss in the dumplings and watch the magic happen! And while you’re at it, adding soy sauce and sesame oil kicks the flavors up a notch. Pro tip: Don’t forget those vibrant green onions on top for an aesthetically pleasing finish. 😉

How to Serve Potsticker Soup

Get ready for a feast for the senses! Ladle the soup into deep bowls, with those cheerful-colored veggies peeking out and the dumplings bobbing around. Picture the contrast of the soft broth against the crunch of fresh bok choy or spinach. Add a sprinkle of green onions on top for that fresh aroma and pop of color. You could even pair it with a side of crispy spring rolls for that extra crunch. Yum!

How to Store Potsticker Soup

Got leftovers? Lucky you! This soup keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. For longer storage, stash it in the freezer where it can last for about 2 months. Just a heads up: when reheating, your dumplings might soak up more broth, so keep an eye on that and add a splash of water or extra broth to keep it soupy!
