On Friday (2/6/26) it was a bitterly cold day and it just called for soup. I found this one at allrecipes a while ago and the original recipe by Natalie Gravois can be found here. There are lots of other great recipes, and I highly recommend a look. We both gave this a thumb’s up, and it is another we will be making again. Gregg said he would like to try it with noodles next time. I am all for that though I am a big fan of potstickers. It isn’t mentioned but this to me is a Thai-inspired dish and all the ingredients used is what we have made in other Thai dishes, with most ingredients already in our supplies.
Creamy Potsticker Soup - serves 6 to 8
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 bunch green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
1 quart of chicken broth
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 inch piece of ginger, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
1 cup thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 (18.2 ounce) bag frozen potstickers, such as P. F. Chang’s Chicken dumplings
Garnish:
Sliced green onions
Chili Crisp
Heat avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the white parts from the onions and sauté until softened.
Add chicken broth, garlic, ginger, curry paste and sesame oil. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the garlic and ginger. Add coconut milk, shiitake mushrooms and carrots. Bring to a boil.
Add frozen potstickers and cook until heated through! 6 to 8 minutes.
Serve with green parts of green onions and chili crisp. We also added a few splashes of sriracha hot sauce. If you are not keen on anything hot, then leave the chili crisp and the hot sauce off. On the other hand, a little goes a long way.
I read the comments from people. Someone added snow peas and collard greens. Maybe you could add your favorite vegetable. As Gregg would like to try noodles next time, he suggested using the meat off a rotisserie chicken. Another suggestion of his was to add rice.
I didn’t have fresh garlic or ginger so used the frozen cubes that we keep in the freezer. It has several different ones which you can see at this link. You can also scroll down and they have recipes.
We buy ours from Trader Joe's but checking online I saw Harris Teeters, Safeway, Whole Foods and Kroger also sold them. They are very convenient when we run out of fresh. That cut out our step for removing both of these fresh ingredients in the third paragraph of the instructions. We put them into the liquid straight out of the freezer, and they dissolve as we stir them in, adding to all that goodness.
We had leftovers for the next day and as always happens, it tasted even better. Those flavors had a chance to work their magic.
One addition we added to our next day meal, was a cooked Jasmine rice. We don’t usually add two starches but this was requested by my dear other half. It was a great choice and took it up a notch.
I am a big fan of chili crisp and below is the kind I enjoy best. I have tried others but always come back to this one.
Delicious soup, thank you for this recipe!
ReplyDeleteHave a great start to the week! hug Elke
Thank you Elke :) and you are very welcome. You have a great start to the week also. Hug, Denise
DeleteLooks really good. Several of the ingredients I have never used before.
ReplyDeleteGlad you think so Ginny. I only started using these ingredients when Gregg retired and wanted me to cook Thai cuisine. That was ten years ago when I asked for help preparing ingredients which were numerous to the meals we had had before. He gradually realized how much he enjoyed cooking :) A lot of these items we can get in our local supermarket.
DeleteIt looks very good. I've never had potstickers before
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann :) We don't get them very often but enjoy when we do.
DeleteI really enjoy potstickers, and on occasions we have made them. The problem I find with buying pot stickers is that they are very high in sodium. The last ones I looked at, toyed with buying but put them back, contained 85% of daily sodium intake in just three potstickers. No doubt, that’s why they taste so good.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely something to take into consideration. Thank you David, I too am trying to keep my salt intake low :)
DeleteThat looks quite tasty and satisfying!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie, it was, very much so :)
DeleteThough I love soup, this one doesn't move me to try it. I am reminded that I need to make the egg roll in a bowl again. I have an 1/2 lb of gr. pork in the freezer to use.
ReplyDeleteEgg roll in a bowl sounds lovely! I'll have to get some ground pork in again too :)
DeleteSomething different, it looks good!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine, one of our new favorites :)
DeleteSounds good Denise, I like the veggie dumplings :-D
ReplyDeleteHi Ananka, thank you! Veggie dumplings are lovely! :)
Deleteohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Denise it warmed me all the way thru and OM goodness it is a lovely bowl of goodness too
ReplyDeleteHugs cecilia
Happy it did so Cecilia, and enjoyed your description, thank you. Hugs, Denise :)
DeleteSeveral years ago I made a Thai dish, don't remember what. We found we both really, really don't like coconut milk. We couldn't eat it. I was disappointed because I really wanted to venture into something new.
ReplyDeleteWell, with all those delicious meals you cook, I would be very happy with those. You give me some great ideas :)
DeleteThis looks really good. I love pot stickers and in soup they'd be even better!
ReplyDeleteYes, potstickers or noodles or gnocchi :) Thanks Jeanie!
DeleteLooks so good. I do have some frozen potstickers so I should give this a go! Happy new week to you and yours, Denise.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it Ellen :) Happy new week to you and yours also :) Denise
DeleteI've always loved your Thai-inspired recipes and really love recipes that use ingredients that already we have on hand in a different way,. (Especially important here in Florida since we can't leave any refrigerated food here at the end of the season!). This recipe ticks all the boxes. Yum.
ReplyDeleteThat's great and thank you so much for letting me know Sallie. Thank you :)
DeleteLooks and sounds lovely to eat!
ReplyDeleteHello there, I've been thinking about you. Thank you for dropping in, very much appreciated :)
DeleteThis recipe looks perfect for the cold weather we're still having, Denise. I'm planing to look for the frozen ginger and garlic cubes the next tine we are grocery shopping. We usually have both available fresh, but sometimes saving time would be nice.
ReplyDeleteHello Dorothy, I hope you find them. Though I like to use fresh, it's nice to pop into the freezer when you run out and use these, especially on these snowy, cold days :)
DeleteThat does look good and healthy - adding veggies sounds good. I use those frozen garlics and they are great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandie, I'd like to add extra veggies. How lovely you use the frozen garlics. I agree, they're great :)
DeleteOh man.. that looks so good!
ReplyDeleteYou put a big smile on my face saying that Hena. Thank you so much :)
DeleteHappy Monday Denise ... thank you for sharing this recipe.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
One day late for me to wish you a Happy Monday Jan, but I hope it was a good one and the same for today :) You are very welcome, glad you enjoyed :) All the best to you too, Denise
DeletePotstickers are new to me. I had heard of them but didn't realize they were basically dumplings. Sounds like a tasty soup.
ReplyDeleteThey are a tasty addition to a lot of meals but I especially like them in soups. I don't always sauté potstickers, which seems to be the way they are used normally, but they are delicious cooked in plain old boiling water too. When they rise to the top that's when they are cooked :) Thank you Sue!
DeleteI love pot stickers too. Yum. I bet this soup is tasty.
ReplyDeleteHi Erika, they are delicious aren't they? This soup is very tasty. I've had a request to make it again tomorrow :)
DeleteGracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteDe nada y gracias :) Me alegra mucho que te guste. Te mando un beso.
Deletei love, love, love allrecipes and the adorable woman who cooks for them. i watch her all the time on youtube, she is just great. i actually made one of her recipes last night. the soup recipe sounds so yummy, we have been eating a lot of soup. i tried the frozen garlic once, no maybe it was in a jar and did not care for it. i have seen the frozen and will give it a try. i think i will try this soup, i always look forward to the recipes you share!!
ReplyDeleteI agree Debbie, it's a wonderful food blog. I didn't realize she was on YouTube. I'll have to look for her. I hope you'll like the frozen garlic better if you give it a try. You are very kind, I love the ones you do also :)
DeleteI've never heard of potstickers before but the soup looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverley. I was thinking, maybe they are called something different where you live! :)
DeleteI never heard of avocado oil and garlic cubes. Who knew? Lol. Looks like delicious soup.
ReplyDeleteThat's the fun part, always finding out something new :) Thanks Gigi!
