Soup Ingredients
- 1 package potstickers
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups bok choy, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- Green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Warm 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a pot over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the aromatics.
- Sauté garlic and ginger: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring the base of the soup has a deep flavor.
- Cook mushrooms: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are softened, which should take a few minutes to release their moisture and develop their taste.
- Add broth and boil: Pour the 4 cups of vegetable broth into the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, which prepares for cooking the potstickers.
- Cook potstickers: Add the potstickers directly into the boiling broth and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they are tender and cooked through.
- Add bok choy and soy sauce: Stir in the chopped bok choy and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, then allow everything to simmer together for another 2 to 3 minutes until the bok choy is wilted but still vibrant.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh, mild onion flavor topping. Serve hot and enjoy your warming meal.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken or shrimp potstickers if preferred.
- If you like a spicier soup, add a dash of chili flakes or chili oil when sautéing the garlic and ginger.
- Fresh mushrooms such as shiitake or cremini add more depth, but button mushrooms work fine.
- For a richer broth, add a splash of mirin or rice vinegar along with the soy sauce.
- This soup is best enjoyed immediately but can be refrigerated up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
