Better-Than-Takeout Potsticker Soup (Ready in Under 20 Minutes!)
This Potsticker Soup is cozy, filling, and comes together in under 20 minutes with a bag of frozen potstickers (Trader Joe’s ones are elite), fresh veggies, and a super flavorful broth. But the real game-changer? Crisping the potstickers before adding them to the soup. It adds that perfect texture and makes this taste like a fancy restaurant dish—without the price tag.

The other night, I threw this together for my teenager, and let me tell you—she was impressed. You know a recipe is a keeper when a teenager actually stops mid-bite to say, “Wait… this is really good.” So obviously, I had to share it with you.
Why You’ll Love This Soup
Super fast – Ready in 15-20 minutes from start to finish.
So satisfying – The crispy potstickers + savory broth = pure comfort.
Simple ingredients – Most of this is probably already in your kitchen.
Customizable – Add mushrooms, swap in pork potstickers, or go spicier with extra sriracha.
Make It Your Own
• Switch up the protein – Use pork, shrimp, or veggie potstickers.
• Add more veggies – Bok choy, mushrooms, or bell peppers would be amazing.
• Go spicier – Double the sriracha or drizzle in chili crisp.
• Want it heartier? Toss in some cooked ramen noodles before serving.
Meal Prep & Storage Tips
This soup is best fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep in mind that the potstickers will soften in the broth, but it’s still delicious! To reheat, warm on the stove over low heat or microwave in 30-second intervals.
