Description
A warm and comforting potsticker soup filled with tender dumplings, earthy mushrooms, and fresh bok choy in a savory ginger-garlic broth. This easy one-pot meal comes together quickly and delivers bold, satisfying flavor.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon sesame oil or vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1 medium onion, diced
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon chili paste (optional)
10–12 frozen potstickers (pork, chicken, or vegetable)
2 cups mushrooms, sliced (shiitake, cremini, or button)
2 heads baby bok choy, chopped
2 green onions, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and diced onion, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
- Pour in the broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili paste if using. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the frozen potstickers directly to the simmering broth and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and chopped bok choy. Simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the potstickers are fully cooked and the bok choy is tender but still vibrant.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
For extra heat, drizzle chili oil over the finished soup.
Add thinly sliced carrots, spinach, napa cabbage, or kale for additional vegetables.
For a heartier meal, stir in cooked rice noodles before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently on the stovetop and add a splash of broth or water if needed.
Freezing is not recommended once assembled, as potstickers may become mushy.
