Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Dumplings

  • 1 package (12 oz) pork or chicken dumplings

Greens & Garnish

  • 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to streamline the cooking process and ensure you have everything ready before starting.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute. This releases the flavors into the oil.
  3. Add Broth and Dumplings: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Once boiling, add the dumplings and cook according to package instructions until they are tender and fully cooked, usually about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Greens and Season: Stir in the fresh spinach or bok choy along with soy sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the greens are wilted but still vibrant, adding a fresh, healthy element to the soup.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle the sesame oil into the soup just before serving to impart a nutty aroma and enhance the depth of flavor.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the chopped green onions for a pop of color and mild crunch. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting potsticker soup!

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth to make this recipe vegetarian-friendly combined with vegetarian dumplings.
  • Adjust soy sauce amounts based on your taste preference and sodium restrictions.
  • For a spicy kick, add a dash of chili oil or red pepper flakes when adding the broth.
  • If using frozen dumplings, you may need to cook them slightly longer until they are fully thawed and cooked through.
  • Fresh ginger can be substituted with ground ginger if needed, but fresh provides a more vibrant flavor.
