Can I use homemade potstickers?

Absolutely! Just cook them gently and shorten the simmer time so they don’t fall apart.

What’s the best broth for Potsticker Soup?

Chicken broth gives a richer flavor, but vegetable broth keeps it light and vegetarian-friendly.

How can I store leftovers?

Keep leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. If the potstickers get too soft, cook fresh ones when reheating.

Can I freeze Potsticker Soup?

Not recommended—the dumplings can become mushy. But you can freeze the broth base and add potstickers fresh later.

Prepare the broth:
Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden.
Simmer the base:
Pour in broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer for 5–10 minutes to let the flavors blend.
Cook the potstickers and veggies:
Carefully drop frozen potstickers into the simmering broth. Cook 5–7 minutes or until tender. Add mushrooms and spinach during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Ladle into bowls and top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy your cozy bowl of Potsticker Soup!

Notes

Swap in vegetable broth and veggie potstickers for a vegetarian option.
Add extra vegetables like carrots, edamame, or shredded cabbage for more color and nutrients.
Leftovers keep well for up to 2 days in the fridge, but reheat gently to keep dumplings from breaking.
