Ingredients

Scale

Soup:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 large leek, cleaned and chopped (white and light green parts only)
  • 1/3 cup shaved or chopped carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 shiitake mushroom caps, cleaned and thinly sliced
  • 3 baby bok choy, tender leaves and firm stems chopped separately
  • 1/4 cup lite soy sauce
  • 5 cups chicken or vegetable broth (= two 14 oz cans plus 1 cup of water)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon, chicken or mushroom (optional but delish)

Potstickers:

  • 1 1/2 pounds frozen potstickers, wontons or dumplings (minis recommended, see notes) (no need to thaw)
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions (about 2 green onions)
  • sesame seeds for topping (see notes for other suggestions)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat the vegetable or olive oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat until the oil shimmers.
  2. Saute vegetables: Add leeks, carrots, garlic, mushrooms, and firm baby bok choy stems to the pot. Saute until leeks are soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add broth and seasonings: Stir in soy sauce, broth, and sesame oil. Bring to a light boil, stirring frequently.
  4. Optional: Dissolve Better Than Bouillon paste if using.
  5. Cook potstickers: Add frozen potstickers to the pot and cook according to package instructions.
  6. Finish soup: Reduce heat, stir in reserved bok choy leaves and most of the green onions.
  7. Serve: Top with remaining green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For a variation, try adding tofu cubes or cooked chicken for extra protein.
  • You can customize the toppings with cilantro, chili oil, or a splash of rice vinegar for added flavor.
