Ingredients
Scale
Potstickers
- 12 fresh or frozen savory potstickers filled with vegetables or shrimp
Broth Base
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
Vegetables
- 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 cups chopped baby bok choy
Herbs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Natural Gelling Agent
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the broth: In a large pot, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and grated ginger, and let these aromatics simmer gently to infuse the broth with deep, warming flavors.
- Cook the potstickers: Add the potstickers directly to the simmering broth. Cook according to the package instructions or until they float and are tender, usually about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the vegetables: Toss in the sliced mushrooms, shredded carrots, and chopped baby bok choy. Cook just until tender to retain their vibrant colors and fresh crunch.
- Season the soup: Stir in the soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar to brighten the flavors. If a thicker broth is desired, whisk in the natural gelling agent until fully combined.
- Finish with fresh herbs: Turn off the heat, then add the chopped cilantro and sliced green onions. These fresh herbs will lift the soup with their unmistakable brightness and aroma.
Notes
- Use a quality vegetable broth to deepen the soup’s flavor.
- Do not overcook potstickers to keep them tender but firm.
- Add fresh herbs after turning off the heat to preserve their color and flavor.
- Customize vegetables based on freshness and seasonality.
- Adjust apple cider vinegar amount gradually to balance acidity.
