Ingredients
Scale
Dumplings
- 1 package (12 oz) pork or chicken dumplings
Broth and Flavorings
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Vegetables & Garnish
- 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to streamline the cooking process and ensure everything is ready before you start cooking.
- 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, to build the base flavor of the soup.
- Add Broth and Dumplings: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the dumplings to the pot and cook them until they are tender and fully cooked through, which typically takes about 6-8 minutes depending on the package instructions.
- Add Greens and Soy Sauce: Stir in fresh spinach or bok choy along with the soy sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted but still vibrant, enhancing the soup with freshness.
- Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle the sesame oil into the soup and stir gently to incorporate the nutty aroma and flavor.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, crisp finish. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting potsticker soup.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a lighter flavor or to fit dietary preferences.
- Fresh ginger and garlic can be adjusted according to your taste preference for more or less pungency.
- Spinach wilts very quickly, so add it near the end to preserve texture and color.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option and to control the salt level in your soup.
- This soup can be made with frozen dumplings straight from the freezer; just add a few extra minutes to cook.
