Spicy Potsticker Soup Broth (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
02 - 1 cup julienned carrots
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 3 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
05 - 6 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
06 - 10 cups low sodium vegetable broth
07 - 2 pounds frozen potstickers (or substitute with wontons or dumplings)
08 - 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced

→ Optional Garnishes

09 - toasted sesame seeds
10 - sesame oil
11 - chili crisp oil

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Add the vegetable oil along with the carrots, garlic, and ginger to a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Over medium heat, stir and cook the vegetables for 3-5 minutes or until the carrots are just tender.
02 - Add in the low sodium soy sauce and low sodium vegetable stock. Stir and allow the soup base to come to a low boil.
03 - Once the soup starts to boil, add the frozen potstickers and stir well but gently to keep them from sticking. Cook according to package instructions, usually for about 3-5 minutes until fully cooked and heated through.
04 - Lastly, add in the green onions. Stir and turn off the heat.
05 - Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with optional toppings such as toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, or chili crisp oil.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Consider using low sodium soy sauce and broth to reduce saltiness.
02 - Frozen potstickers are typically pre-cooked, so only a few minutes of heating in the broth is required.
