Ingredients
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
6 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
½ cup scallions, whites and light green parts, diced, plus greens for garnish
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 small carrot, peeled and diced
3 cloves garlic, grated or chopped
1 teaspoon grated ginger
4 cups chicken bone broth
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce or tamari
20 frozen chicken potstickers (or gluten-free potstickers)
2 cups baby spinach, stems removed
Chili crisp, for serving (optional)
Instructions
-
Warm a medium Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat, then drizzle in the sesame oil.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms, diced scallion whites and light greens, diced carrot, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and cook until vegetables soften — about 8 minutes.
-
Add the garlic and grated ginger; stir and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
-
Pour in the bone broth and soy sauce/tamari; stir to combine, then bring to a boil.
-
Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 5 minutes until the carrots are tender.
-
After those 5 minutes, turn the heat back up to medium‑high and add the frozen potstickers. Cook until the dumplings are cooked through — about 6–8 minutes (following the package directions if different).
-
During the last minute of cooking, stir in the baby spinach so it wilts gently.
-
To serve: ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the green scallion parts and drizzle chili crisp on top if desired.
-

Notes
Use any potstickers you like—chicken, pork, veggie, or shrimp.
For a gluten-free version, use GF potstickers and tamari.
Add chili crisp, sriracha, or sesame oil for extra spice.
To boost protein, add tofu, chicken, shrimp, or a jammy egg.
Store broth separately if saving leftovers to avoid soggy dumplings.
