What veggies to put in potsticker soup?

In Easy Asian Dumpling Potsticker Soup, I love loading it with veggies. Suggestions include napa cabbage, baby spinach, bok choy, mushrooms, shredded carrots, green onions, and snap peas. They keep texture while adding color and nutrition.

What kind of meat is best in potstickers?

Pork is traditional, but I often reach for chicken or veggie dumplings. For halal options, choose halal-certified chicken or veggie dumplings, and use vegetable broth. The filling options let you tailor to taste and dietary needs.

What exactly is potsticker soup?

Potsticker soup is a cozy one-pot meal where dumplings simmer in a flavorful broth with aromatics and vegetables. The result is a comforting bowl with a juicy bite and a bright, gingery broth. It’s quick to make and endlessly adaptable for weeknights.

Should I cook potstickers in oil or broth?

In this soup, dumplings simmer in the broth to absorb flavor and stay tender. If you prefer a crisper skin, you can do a quick light sear in oil before adding to the broth. But simmering in broth keeps the dish lighter and more cohesive.

Description

Easy Asian Dumpling Potsticker Soup is a quick, cozy, comforting soup loaded with juicy dumplings, fresh veggies, and a savory broth.

Ingredients

Scale

1 tbsp sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp rice vinegar
12–15 frozen halal dumplings or potstickers (chicken or veggie)
1 cup shredded napa cabbage or baby spinach
½ cup shredded carrots

Instructions

Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken broth, water, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer.
Add frozen dumplings directly to the broth. Simmer for 6–8 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through.
Stir in cabbage and carrots, simmering another 2 minutes until veggies are tender.
Serve hot, garnished with green onions, a drizzle of chili oil, and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

You can use chicken or veggie dumplings; for a vegetarian version, use veggie dumplings and vegetable broth.
To keep this lighter, use less sesame oil and/or a smaller amount of dumplings.
For extra spice, add chili oil or fresh chili flakes.
Stir in greens at the end to retain color and texture.
