Description

Make this Creamy Thai Coconut Potsticker Soup for a 20 minute dinner that is full of warm and cozy flavors!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter (sub plant-based butter)
  • 1/2 sweet yellow onion, diced
  • 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons lemongrass, grated (sub lemongrass paste)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated (sub ginger paste)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cans full fat coconut milk (shake to mix before adding)
  • 1 (4oz) jar + 2 tablespoons Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped (more for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • zest of 1 lime
  • juice of 1/2 lime (more, if desired)
  • 3 teaspoons garlic chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 36 frozen potstickers (I used 3 boxes of Good & Gather Frozen Potstickers)
  • 2 baby bok choy, chopped into large pieces
  • 1 pint baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • optional toppings: additional fresh basil, lime wedges, & soft boiled egg

Instructions

  1. Sauté: Bring a large dutch oven to medium-high heat and add butter to melt. Sauté the diced onion and 3 teaspoons garlic until softened. Add 2 teaspoons lemongrass and 1 teaspoon ginger; continue to move around the pot for 30 seconds.
  2. Combine: Add 3 cups chicken broth, coconut milk, 1 jar + 2 tablespoons red curry paste, 1/4 cup fresh basil, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, lime zest, juice of 1/2 a lime, 3 teaspoons garlic chili sauce, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; mix to combine. Bring to a boil.
  3. Veggies + Potstickers: Add frozen potstickers, chopped bok choy, and mushrooms; mix and then simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Taste + Serve: Taste and adjust any additional salt, lime juice, or any other flavors, as desired. Ladle into individual bowls and add any desired toppings to serve!

Notes

  • Frozen Potstickers: this soup was tested with Good & Gather Frozen Potstickers and Costco Ling Ling Frozen Potstickers. Both were delicious, but the Costco ones were a little large to eat in a soup so we preferred the smaller option. Feel free to use your favorite. Discard any included sauce packets.
  • Dairy-Free: use plant-based butter or olive oil.
  • Gluten-Free: use gluten-free potstickers, like Feel Good Foods.
  • Storage: leftover soup can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. The potstickers will soak up some of the broth, so another splash or two may need to be added when reheating.
