Ingredients

Soup Base

  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 6 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ cup scallions (whites and light green parts, diced plus greens for garnish)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated or chopped
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 4 cups chicken bone broth
  • 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce or tamari

Potstickers and Greens

  • 20 frozen chicken potstickers (or gluten-free potstickers such as Feel Good Foods)
  • 2 cups baby spinach, stems removed

Optional Topping

  • Chili crisp (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat a medium Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat and add the toasted sesame oil. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms, diced scallions (whites and light green parts), diced carrot, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine and cook for about 8 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
  2. Add Aromatics: Stir in the grated garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant to build the soup’s aromatic base.
  3. Make the Broth: Pour in the chicken bone broth and add the soy sauce or tamari. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the carrots to become tender.
  4. Cook the Potstickers and Spinach: Turn the heat back up to medium-high and add the frozen chicken potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the potstickers are thoroughly cooked through. At the last minute of cooking, add the baby spinach and stir until just wilted.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved scallion greens. Optionally, top with a spoonful of chili crisp to add a spicy, savory kick.

Notes

  • Frozen potstickers can be substituted with gluten-free varieties if needed.
  • Bone broth adds depth of flavor, but chicken broth can be used as an alternative.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce or tamari according to your taste preference and dietary sodium restrictions.
  • Chili crisp is optional but adds a delicious spicy crunch.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute potstickers with vegetable-filled dumplings and use vegetable broth.
