Red Curry Paste – highly recommend using Thai Kitchen’s Red Curry Paste. It adds great flavor and a very mild, warm heat.
Bok Choy & Mushrooms – love the addition of these fresh veggies, but feel free to omit or use any other vegetables that you have on hand or want in your easy potsticker soup.

What We Learned Testing this Recipe

Veggies: This super easy potsticker soup was tested with mushrooms and baby bok choy and without those veggies. Both options were delicious, but we love loved it best WITH them in the pot.
Potstickers: Recipe was first tasted with Costco potstickers and it tasted great but they were large for a soup. So, it was re-tested with smaller, bite-sized potstickers.

Potsticker Soup FAQs

Are potstickers the same as soup dumplings?

No, they are similar but have differences. Soup dumplings tend to be smaller and round in size. They also have broth on the inside and potstickers do not.

What veggies to put in potsticker soup?

Sliced mushrooms and chopped baby bok choy are delicious, but feel free to add matchstix carrots, frozen peas, small broccoli florets, and/or green onions.

How do I store leftover potsticker soup?

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Do not recommend freezing this soup.
