Question 1

Is this potsticker soup healthy?

Accepted Answer

This soup is an overall well-balanced meal since it contains protein from the potstickers and vegetables. The only thing you may have to watch is the sodium count - miso ginger broth and certain brands of frozen potstickers can have high amounts of sodium. You can make certain swaps to cut down the sodium content - see the FAQ below!

Question 2

How much does it cost to make this recipe?

Accepted Answer

The cost of the ingredients is going to depend a lot on where you shop. I got all of the ingredients for this dish from Trader Joe's.

The total estimated cost was $10.60 for 4 servings which comes out to $2.65 per serving!

Price may vary depending on location and may change seasonally.

Question 3

How can I reduce the sodium in this recipe?

Accepted Answer

The majority of the sodium will come from the broth so try to find a low-sodium miso ginger broth or make your own! You can also use just 1/2 the box of broth and 1/2 water, but that will of course cut down the flavor. Also make sure to use frozen potstickers that have less sodium.

Question 4

How do I make this recipe vegetarian?

Accepted Answer

Use vegetable potstickers or dumplings. Make sure the miso ginger broth you are using doesn't contain any chicken or beef broth.

Question 5

What vegetables are the best for this soup?

Accepted Answer

Shredded carrots, broccoli pieces, sugar snap peas, corn, and chopped bell peppers are the best. Even bok choy or spinach works well. I used the Trader Joe's Frozen Asian Style Vegetable mix that contains sugar snap peas, broccoli, baby corn, petite green beans, water chestnuts, red bell peppers, carrots and mushrooms.

Question 6

Can I use fresh potstickers instead of frozen ones?

Accepted Answer

Yep, you sure can! Fresh potstickers cook faster, so reduce the cooking time and watch closely to avoid overcooking.

Question 7

Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can! Fresh vegetables work well in this soup. Add tougher vegetables earlier so they have time to soften, and add green leafy veggies at the very end so they don’t overcook.
