Description
A comforting potsticker soup made with frozen pork dumplings and fragrant broth, perfect for quick weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 12 frozen pork dumplings (potstickers)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian swap)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bok choy, shredded carrots, baby spinach, or snap peas)
Instructions
- Place a large pot over medium heat and add 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the 12 frozen dumplings directly into the simmering broth and simmer for 4–6 minutes, stirring gently a couple times.
- After the dumplings are tender, stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and let them infuse for about 1 minute.
- Add the 1 cup of mixed vegetables and simmer another 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, taste the broth, and add salt or soy sauce if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
This soup is best served hot and can be paired with steamed rice or side salads. For a vegetarian option, substitute pork dumplings with vegetable or tofu dumplings.
