Sharing a re-post from 2015 of a favorite dish for those chilly evenings. I know you’ll love how flavorful (and easy!) potsticker soup is.
Brrr!! There was a definite chill in the air this morning when I took Miss Riley out for her walk. I was thankful for all my layers when that wind chill hit me and even more thankful that Riley didn’t want to go out on one of her notorious sniff-driven jaunts. But the first feeling of cold weather season got me thinking about all those cozy meals (really, just all the comfort food) that can be enjoyed when temperatures plunge like a polar bear.
I decided to re-share this post I originally published way back in 2015, which feels like a lifetime ago. This soup is one of my favorite Trader Joe’s non-recipe recipes and can be whipped together in no time at all. Plus, I love how this is a flavorful, cozy dish that doesn’t leave you feeling fluffy.
P.S. Trader Joe’s recently shared their own potsticker soup recipe. I haven’t given it a whirl yet but adding TJ’s chili onion crunch is a stroke of genius!
How To Make Potsticker Soup (It really is as easy as this!)
Ingredients
2 containers Low Sodium Chicken Broth (Or vegetable)
1 container Trader Joe’s Mirepoix (A mixture of diced carrots, onions + celery)
1 bag Spinach
1 bag Trader Joe’s Vegetable Gyoza
1 tablespoon Trader Joe’s Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon Trader Joe’s Soyaki Sauce
Chopped scallions for garnish
Sriracha (Optional)
Directions
1. In a large saucepan, heat up approximately 3 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat. Add the mirepoix and stir occasionally until the onion pieces become translucent. Add both containers of broth and bring to a simmer.
2. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat (deja vu). Add the potstickers and cook until golden brown, turning over once to ensure even browning.
3. Once the broth is bubbling, toss in the spinach, toasted sesame oil and soyaki sauce. Stir to mix the ingredients and drop in the cooked potstickers. Garnish with scallions + Sriracha and enjoy!
Tip: If you want to store the soup in the fridge, separate the potstickers from the broth so they don’t get all mushy. Nobody wants that!
