This easy potsticker soup is a cozy, flavorful dish made with frozen dumplings, savory broth, and fresh vegetables. It’s quick to prepare, customizable, and perfect for busy weeknights or when you need a comforting meal in minutes.

Ingredients

  • 8–10 frozen potstickers (any variety)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 2 cups baby spinach or chopped bok choy
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Optional toppings: cilantro, lime wedges, sriracha, toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
  3. Stir in soy sauce and carrots. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until carrots are slightly tender.
  4. Add frozen potstickers directly to the pot and cook according to package instructions, typically 5–7 minutes.
  5. A minute before serving, stir in spinach or bok choy and let it wilt.
  6. Remove from heat, top with green onions and any desired toppings. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use vegetable broth and vegetarian dumplings for a meatless version.
  • Add a spoonful of miso paste for extra umami flavor.
  • For protein, top with a soft-boiled egg or tofu cubes.
  • Store broth and dumplings separately to avoid sogginess.
  • Shredded cabbage or mushrooms are great add-ins for more texture.
