This warm, comforting Trader Joes Pot Sticker Soup Recipe is made with frozen dumplings and fresh baby spinach and ready in just 15 minutes. The frozen potstickers become perfectly tender as they plump up in the fragrant ginger-soy broth. I keep these ingredients stocked for whenever I need a fast, satisfying dinner.
Better Than Takeaway
I used to order wonton soup every time I felt a cold coming on, but delivery always took too long. Once I figured out how to use store-bought potstickers as a shortcut, my weeknight routine changed entirely.
I quickly learned that adding the spinach too early turns it to mush. The real trick is dropping the greens in right at the end so they stay vibrant.
Jump to RecipeTrader Joes Pot Sticker Soup Recipe Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) bag Trader Joe’s frozen chicken potstickers
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
How To Make Trader Joes Pot Sticker Soup Recipe
- Simmer the Broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Dumplings: Add the frozen potstickers to the boiling broth and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they float and become tender.
- Wilt the Greens: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the baby spinach and sliced green onions until the spinach is just wilted.
Recipe Tips
- Customize the greens: Swap baby spinach for chopped baby bok choy or shredded cabbage if you want more crunch.
- Boost the flavor: Add a dash of chili crisp or sriracha to your bowl for a spicy kick.
- Check for doneness: The potstickers are ready as soon as they float to the top of the simmering broth.
What To Serve With Pot Sticker Soup
This light and savory soup pairs beautifully with a crunchy cucumber salad dressed in rice vinegar. You can also serve it alongside some crispy vegetable spring rolls for a complete meal.
How To Store
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The dumplings will absorb more broth as they sit, so you may need to add a splash of water when reheating. Freezing is not recommended as the wrappers will become mushy.
FAQs
Can I use different dumplings?
Yes, you can use any brand or filling of frozen potstickers or gyoza for this soup. Pork, vegetable, or shrimp all work perfectly.
Is this soup gluten-free?
Not as written, because the potstickers and standard soy sauce contain gluten. You would need gluten-free dumplings and tamari to modify it.
Can I add noodles?
Absolutely. Try dropping in some quick-cooking ramen noodles or rice vermicelli during the last three minutes of boiling.
