Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Chicken Broth (low sodium)
- 12–16 oz. Frozen Turkey or Chicken Potstickers
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 cups Baby Spinach
- 2 Scallions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a small amount of oil (optional) over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Step 2: Pour in the 6 cups of chicken broth and the soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce the heat slightly to maintain a vigorous simmer.
- Step 3: Carefully add the frozen potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook according to the package directions, usually 5 to 7 minutes, or until the potstickers float to the surface and the wrappers appear translucent and cooked through.
- Step 4: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the baby spinach, pushing it down into the broth until it wilts (about 1 minute). Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil. Taste the broth and add additional soy sauce if necessary.
- Step 5: Ladle the soup, ensuring each bowl has a generous serving of potstickers and broth. Garnish immediately with the thinly sliced scallions before serving.
Notes
- For best results and to prevent soggy dumplings, store the leftover potstickers and the remaining broth in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator.
- To reheat, bring the broth to a gentle simmer, then quickly add only the portion of reserved potstickers you plan to eat, heating them through quickly until piping hot.
- For a spicy kick, elevate the serving experience by adding a small dash of chili garlic oil or red pepper flakes to each bowl just before garnishing.
- Remember to stir in the toasted sesame oil only after removing the pot from the heat, as excessive boiling will dull its delicate, nutty flavor.
