Ingredients
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
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (minced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped)
- 1/4 cup Green Onions (sliced)
Additional
- Splash of cooking oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Prepare Aromatics: Heat a splash of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become golden and fragrant, releasing their delicious aromas.
- Create the Broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth along with the coconut milk into the pot. Stir gently to combine into a creamy, smooth mixture that will serve as the base of the soup.
- Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors of the broth, ginger, and garlic to meld beautifully.
- Cook Potstickers: Add the potstickers directly into the simmering broth. Let them cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through and tender, ensuring they absorb some of the flavorful soup.
- Season the Soup: Adjust the flavor by adding a splash of soy sauce. Stir in the fresh lime juice to brighten the soup with a subtle citrus note.
- Garnish and Serve: Add the chopped cilantro and sliced green onions on top as garnish. Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each serving contains a few potstickers. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors.
Notes

- Adjust the level of lime juice and soy sauce to taste for more tang or saltiness.
- Adding a dash of chili flakes or fresh sliced chili can give the soup a spicy kick.
