How to Make Potsticker Soup (Overview)

Making Potsticker Soup is as enjoyable as eating it! Start by simmering your broth and tossing in the garlic and ginger — the terms ‘happy aroma’ just doesn’t do it justice. When you add the potstickers, take a moment to appreciate the delightful sizzle. Toss in your greens to give it that gorgeous vibrancy. Trust me, don’t skip toasting the garlic — it makes all the difference!

How to Serve Potsticker Soup

Serve this soup in a big, colorful bowl that highlights the vibrant colors of the greens and the golden brown potstickers. A sprinkle of green onions on top not only adds crunch but also elevates the aroma as you dive into your meal. Pair it with a side of crispy wontons for an extra crunch, and enjoy the harmony of textures and flavors! 😋

How to Store Potsticker Soup

Got leftovers? Store the soup in the fridge for about 3-4 days. If you’re looking to save it longer, freeze it for up to 2 months. Just keep the potstickers separately if you can; they might lose their crunch in the freezer. When reheating, warm it on the stove or in the microwave, and add a splash of broth to bring it back to life.
