Great Leftovers: The flavors only get better the next day, making it ideal for meal prepping or lunch.
Ingredients You Need
- Garlic and Ginger: The aromatic duo that builds the foundation of the soup’s savory and slightly spicy flavor profile.
- Green Onions: Add mild onion flavor and freshness; white parts for cooking and green parts for garnish.
- Chicken Broth: A savory base that ties all the ingredients together; use low-sodium for better control over seasoning.
- Carrots: Provide natural sweetness and a pop of vibrant orange color.
- Mushrooms: Add an earthy, umami depth to the broth.
- Napa Cabbage: Delicate, tender greens that balance the richness of the broth while adding texture.
- Mini Potstickers: Pre-filled with meat or veggie options, these dumplings add protein, texture, and a chewy bite that makes the soup hearty. I like to use the Trader Joe's Mini Chicken Cilantro Potstickers.

Celeste's Top Recipe Tips
Cook Potstickers Gently: Add frozen potstickers directly to the simmering broth and avoid stirring too much to keep them intact.
Add the Napa Cabbage Last: Add it and simmer shortly before serving to keep it tender yet slightly crisp for the best texture.
Keep It Fresh: Add garnishes like green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of chili oil just before serving for added layers of flavor and texture.
Substitutions and Variations
- Use regular-sized potstickers or wontons if mini ones aren’t available.
- Replace the napa cabbage with shredded savoy cabbage or green cabbage if Napa isn’t available. You can also use bok choy, spinach, or kale for a similar leafy texture.
- Swap with the baby bella mushrooms with shiitake, or enoki mushrooms for variety.
- Carrots can be replaced with sweet potato matchsticks, thinly sliced parsnips or frozen mixed vegetables.
- Use vegetable or beef broth for a richer flavor or miso broth for a more Asian-inspired taste.
- Swap the coconut aminos with soy sauce, a low-sodium sauce, or tamari sauce.
