How to Serve Potsticker Soup

Serve Potsticker Soup hot in large bowls. It’s perfect as a main dish on its own, but you can also pair it with some crusty bread or a side salad for a fuller meal. A sprinkle of extra green onions on top adds a nice touch.

How to Store Potsticker Soup

If you have leftovers, let the soup cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the soup in freezer-safe containers for up to a month. When reheating, just make sure to warm it slowly on the stove or in the microwave.

Tips to Make Potsticker Soup

  • Using frozen dumplings can save you time. Look for pre-packaged dumplings in the frozen aisle of your grocery store.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, carrots, or bell peppers for more flavor and nutrition.
  • Adjust the seasoning by adding more soy sauce or a splash of vinegar if you like it tangier.

Variation

You can easily switch up the proteins in this soup. If you prefer a vegetarian option, use vegetable dumplings and vegetable broth. You can also experiment with different types of greens like kale or collard greens.

FAQs

Can I use homemade dumplings instead of store-bought?
Yes! If you have homemade dumplings, they will work perfectly in this soup.

Can I make this soup in advance?
You can prepare the soup in advance but consider adding the dumplings just before serving to prevent them from becoming mushy.

Is this soup gluten-free?
To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free dumplings and tamari instead of soy sauce. Always check labels to ensure all ingredients are gluten-free.

Hi, I’m Olivia Carter. I’m 41 years old, born in Nashville, Tennessee, and now living in Denver, Colorado, where the mountains are as much a part of my inspiration as the markets I shop from. My kitchen is my safe place it smells of herbs, wood smoke, and sometimes just-baked bread cooling on the counter.

I didn’t grow up with professional chefs around me just hardworking parents and a grandmother who believed that love always started with a pot on the stove. She taught me how to make biscuits without a recipe, how to know when cornbread is ready just by the sound it makes, and how to never waste a single vegetable from the garden. Those lessons stuck with me more than anything I ever read in a cookbook.

My path here wasn’t simple. I started as a server, sneaking glances into the kitchen whenever I could. Eventually, I found myself behind the line, sweating through long shifts, burning my fingers, and learning faster than I thought possible. Later, I studied culinary arts in New York, but I’ve always said the best training came from real kitchens, real mistakes, and real people who pushed me to keep going.

Today, my cooking is rooted in Southern tradition but shaped by everywhere I’ve traveled and everything I’ve tasted. I love the balance of smoky barbecue with bright citrus, the sweetness of honey paired with a kick of chili, and the way fresh herbs can lift even the simplest dish. Food, to me, is about contrast it should surprise you while still feeling like home.

I cook for people who want food that tells a story. I believe meals should connect us to memory, to family, to joy. It’s not about perfection or fancy plating it’s about sitting down, taking a bite, and feeling something.

If you’ve ever laughed around a messy kitchen table, licked barbecue sauce off your fingers, or found comfort in a bowl of soup on a hard day, then you already understand what my cooking is about. Welcome I can’t wait to share it with you.
