Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
- 1 can Coconut Milk (approximately 13.5 oz)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, minced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
Potstickers and Garnish
- 12 pieces Potstickers (homemade or frozen)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup Green Onions, sliced
- 1 splash Oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Prepare Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until they become golden and fragrant, releasing their wonderful aroma into the oil.
- Create the Soup Base: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth along with the coconut milk, stirring together until you get a creamy and smooth mixture that invites the flavors to meld.
- Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. This helps combine the flavors as the soup warms through.
- Cook the Potstickers: Add the potstickers to the simmering broth and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are heated through and tender.
- Season and Finish: Adjust the seasoning by adding soy sauce to taste, then stir in the fresh lime juice for a bright, zesty finish. Garnish generously with chopped cilantro and sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top.
- Serve: Ladle the comforting soup into bowls, making sure each serving contains a few delicious potstickers. Serve hot and enjoy your cozy meal!
Notes
- You can use either homemade or store-bought potstickers depending on your preference and time availability.
- For a spicier version, add a dash of chili flakes or a sliced fresh chili during the sautéing step.
- Vegetarian version can be made by using vegetable broth and vegetable-based potstickers.
- Adjust soy sauce amount to control the saltiness of the soup according to your taste.
- Fresh lime juice should be added at the end to preserve its bright flavor.
