Ingredients

Scale

Potstickers

  • 12 pieces Potstickers (homemade or frozen)

Soup Base

  • 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 1 can Coconut Milk (about 13.5 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (minced)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice

Garnishes

  • 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Aromatics: Heat a splash of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are golden and release a fragrant aroma.
  2. Create Soup Base: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth along with the coconut milk. Stir well to combine into a creamy and inviting broth mixture.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  4. Cook Potstickers: Add the potstickers to the simmering broth and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are heated through and tender.
  5. Season and Finish: Adjust the seasoning by adding soy sauce to taste, followed by stirring in fresh lime juice to brighten the flavors.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the soup generously with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions. Ladle into bowls ensuring each serving includes several potstickers. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors.

Notes

  • Use chicken broth for a richer flavor or vegetable broth to keep it vegetarian-friendly.
  • Frozen potstickers can be used directly without thawing, adjusting cooking time if needed.
  • For extra heat, add a drizzle of chili oil or some sliced fresh chili.
  • This soup can be easily customized with added vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or bok choy for more nutrition.
  • Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but best enjoyed fresh to maintain potsticker texture.
