Ingredients

12 frozen or homemade potstickers
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 cup sliced carrots
2 cups chopped bok choy
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

Step 1: In a large pot over medium heat, pour in the chicken broth, then add grated ginger and minced garlic. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Step 2: Carefully add the potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook until they float to the surface, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3: Stir in the sliced carrots and chopped bok choy. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
Step 4: Season the soup with soy sauce to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 5: Just before serving, sprinkle with chopped green onions and drizzle the sesame oil on top for added aroma and flavor.

Tips & Variations

For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth and use vegetable-based potstickers.
Add mushrooms or baby corn for extra texture and nutrition.
Use fresh potstickers if available for a more homemade taste.
If you prefer a spicier soup, add a dash of chili oil or crushed red pepper flakes.

Storage

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat to prevent the potstickers from breaking apart. Avoid freezing as the texture of potstickers and vegetables may change.
