Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 pieces Potstickers (homemade or frozen)
- 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
- 1 can Coconut Milk (about 13.5 oz)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
Fresh Aromatics and Herbs
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (minced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped)
- 1/4 cup Green Onions (sliced)
Instructions
- Heat aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and fresh ginger; sauté them for 2-3 minutes until they become golden and release their fragrant aroma, which forms the flavorful base of the soup.
- Add liquids: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth along with the smooth coconut milk. Stir continuously to blend these liquids into a creamy and inviting mixture that will serve as the rich soup base.
- Simmer the broth: Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to help the flavors meld together beautifully and develop depth.
- Cook potstickers: Add the potstickers directly to the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the potstickers are thoroughly heated through, tender, and slightly plump from absorbing some of the broth.
- Season soup: Adjust the seasoning by adding a splash of soy sauce for saltiness and depth. Then stir in fresh lime juice to introduce a bright, tangy contrast that balances the richness of the coconut milk.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish generously with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions. Ladle the scrumptious soup into bowls, ensuring each serving contains a few potstickers. Enjoy this comforting soup hot.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- You can substitute potstickers with dumplings or even frozen ravioli if potstickers are unavailable.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce and lime juice based on your taste preferences for saltiness and tang.
- Add a touch of chili flakes or fresh sliced chilies for a spicy kick.
- This soup remains delicious when reheated and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
