Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Potstickers (store-bought or homemade) – quantity as needed (usually 12-16 pieces)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cabbage
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes

Optional Variations

  • Fresh sliced jalapeños or 1 teaspoon chili oil for spice
  • Mushrooms, bok choy, or snap peas (about 1/2 cup each) for extra veggies
  • Cooked shredded chicken or tofu cubes (1/2 cup) for protein boost
  • Gluten-free potstickers and tamari as soy sauce substitute for gluten-free diets

Instructions

  1. Prepare your broth base: Start by heating your chicken or vegetable broth in a large pot over medium heat. Add freshly minced garlic and grated ginger to infuse the soup with aromatic, savory flavors. Let it simmer gently as you prep the other ingredients.
  2. Cook the potstickers: Add the potstickers directly to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes. This allows the potstickers to cook through and soak up the rich broth flavor.
  3. Add vegetables and seasonings: Once the potstickers are almost done, stir in thinly sliced cabbage and chopped green onions. Splash in soy sauce and drizzle sesame oil for added depth and aroma. If you like heat, sprinkle in your chili flakes now.
  4. Final simmer and serve: Allow the soup to simmer for another 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld perfectly and the veggies soften slightly but remain crisp. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before ladling your cozy Potsticker Soup into bowls.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for the best aromatic flavor.
  • Don’t overcook potstickers to keep them tender but intact; cook just until they float and become plump.
  • Add soy sauce gradually and taste to avoid over-salting.
  • Add quick-cooking vegetables last to keep their texture bright and fresh.
  • Drizzle sesame oil at the end to preserve its nutty aroma without dulling the flavor.
