Ingredients
12–15 frozen or fresh potstickers (chicken, beef, or vegetable)
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups water
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated or minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup cabbage, shredded or chopped
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
1/4 cup cilantro (optional, for garnish)
1 tablespoon chili paste or sriracha (optional, for heat)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the chicken or vegetable broth, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once the broth is simmering, add the sliced mushrooms and cabbage. Let the broth simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened slightly.
- Gently add the frozen or fresh potstickers into the pot. Let them cook in the simmering broth for about 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the top and are cooked through. If you’re using frozen potstickers, make sure they are heated all the way through.
- Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning by adding more soy sauce, vinegar, or a pinch of salt, if needed. If you like spice, add a spoonful of chili paste or sriracha for some heat.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
- Serve hot and enjoy this comforting, savory soup with the crispy potsticker flavors you love!
Notes
You can add diced carrots, celery, or peas for added flavor and nutrition.
Feel free to use different types of potstickers (chicken, beef, or vegetarian) to customize the soup to your preference.
If you prefer a spicier soup, add extra chili paste, sriracha, or even a few dashes of hot sauce to the broth.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce (tamari) and ensure the potstickers you use are gluten-free.
