Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp avocado or vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 tbsp fish-free seasoning sauce (for depth)
- 12–16 frozen chicken or vegetable potstickers (do not thaw)
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- Thinly sliced green onions, fresh cilantro leaves, lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Step: Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for about 60 seconds, until fragrant and golden.
- Step: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until they have softened and started to release their liquid.
- Step: Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and fish-free seasoning sauce. Bring the broth to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Step: Carefully add the frozen potstickers to the simmering broth. Gently nudge them so they’re submerged. Let them cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are cooked through and float to the surface.
- Step: Turn off the heat. Stir in the fresh spinach and lime juice. The residual heat will wilt the spinach perfectly in just a minute.
- Step: Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each serving gets a few potstickers. Top with plenty of sliced green onions and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.
Notes
Using frozen potstickers saves time and works perfectly here. Taste the broth before adding the potstickers and adjust seasoning if needed. This soup is best served right away for the best texture of the dumplings.
