Quick Trader Joes Gyoza Soup Recipe

This comforting savory Trader Joes Gyoza Soup Recipe is made with frozen potstickers, chicken broth, and fresh ginger, and ready in 15 minutes. The tender dumplings float in a deeply flavored, steaming broth packed with wilted greens. I rely on this quick meal whenever I need a fast weeknight dinner.

Better Than Takeaway

I used to order dumpling soup from a local restaurant every time I felt a cold coming on. Then I realized how quickly I could make a comparable version using frozen potstickers.

My biggest mistake early on was boiling the dumplings too long, resulting in mushy wrappers. Now I simmer them gently until they just float to the surface for the best texture.

Trader Joes Gyoza Soup Recipe Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 (16-ounce) bag Trader Joe’s Chicken Gyoza Potstickers
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 2 green onions, sliced

How To Make Trader Joes Gyoza Soup Recipe

1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat, then cook the garlic and ginger for one minute until fragrant.
2. Build the broth: Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, bringing the liquid to a gentle, rolling boil.
3. Cook the gyoza: Drop the frozen potstickers into the boiling broth and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until they float to the top.
4. Wilt the greens: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the fresh spinach and green onions until the spinach wilts completely.

Recipe Tips

• Do not thaw the dumplings: Frozen gyoza holds its shape much better in hot broth than thawed dumplings.
• Customize your greens: Swap spinach for chopped bok choy or shredded cabbage for extra crunch.
• Watch the heat: Keep the soup at a gentle simmer rather than a rapid boil so the wrappers stay intact.

What To Serve With Gyoza Soup

This light soup pairs perfectly with steamed edamame or a crisp cucumber salad. You can also serve it alongside spicy chili oil noodles for a more filling meal.

How To Store

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The dumplings will absorb some broth and soften over time, so you may need to add a splash of water when reheating.

FAQs

Can I use vegetable broth?
Yes, swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth to make a vegetarian version if using vegetable gyoza.

How do I prevent the dumplings from sticking?
Stir the soup gently right after adding the frozen dumplings so they do not settle on the bottom.

Can I freeze leftover soup?
Freezing cooked gyoza in broth is not recommended because the wrappers will turn to mush when thawed.

What other frozen dumplings work?
Any brand of frozen potstickers or wontons will work perfectly in this base broth.
