Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

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

Main Ingredient

  • 12 pieces Potstickers (homemade or frozen)

Garnish

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

Instructions

  1. Heat Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger; sauté for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, releasing their wonderful aromas.
  2. Add Broth and Coconut Milk: Pour in your choice of broth and the coconut milk, stirring together until combined into a creamy, inviting soup base.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors and create a harmonious broth.
  4. Cook Potstickers: Add the potstickers to the simmering soup and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the potstickers are heated through and tender.
  5. Season and Finish: Adjust seasoning by adding soy sauce, then stir in fresh lime juice for a bright, tangy finish. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions for freshness and color.
  6. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls ensuring each serving gets several potstickers. Enjoy this warming soup immediately while hot for the best comforting experience.

Notes

  • Use chicken broth for a non-vegetarian option or vegetable broth to keep it vegetarian.
  • If using frozen potstickers, no need to thaw before cooking; just add directly to the soup.
  • Adjust lime juice and soy sauce to taste based on your preference for acidity and saltiness.
  • For spicier soup, add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha when simmering.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently on stovetop.
