ASIAN POTSTICKER SOUP

This quick and easy 30-minute soup is perfect for a family-friendly weeknight dinner with a fresh flavor. The tasty broth, delicious potstickers, soy sauce, ginger, and other flavors make it the ultimate comfort food.

Chicken Potsticker Soup is a simple and nutritious meal and a classic comfort food dish. It’s similar to easy dumpling soup or wonton soup. You can serve up the Pot Sticker Soup as a full meal on its own or use it as a side for your favorite Chinese food. Try it as a warming side along with Crispy Sesame Chicken or Cashew Chicken.

Quick Pot Sticker Soup comes together in just one dutch oven or stockpot. The cook time is kept down because we use store-bought potstickers. All you have to do is heat up the frozen pot stickers. Set them to the side while the broth simmers, then add all the ingredients together and simmer a little longer for the perfect soup.

WHAT ARE POTSTICKERS?

If you haven’t had potstickers before, you might be wondering what they even are. Potstickers are a kind of Chinese dumpling. They’re made with round wrappers and filled with a combination of vegetables and meat. One thing that sets them apart is that potstickers are a little more crispy than typical dumplings. They’re a traditional dish to serve for Chinese New Year.

Although this recipe calls for chicken potstickers, you can find pork potstickers, vegetable potstickers, and beef potstickers. 

Often instead of serving them in a dumpling soup, they’re a side dish served with dipping sauce. Gyoza, chili sauce, or an easy soy sauce mixture would make great dipping sauces for them. Using frozen potstickers, makes this an easy side to throw together.
