Guys this soup is SOOO good! Like, my new favorite soup good! It comes together quickly thanks to using store-bought broth here. To get restaurant-quality pho, in a fraction of the time the broth simmers with aromatics and sauces before adding the shrimp and veggies. Other than the noodles, this pho is a one-pot meal. For more Vietnamese recipes, try my Shaking Beef, Shrimp Summer Rolls, and Slow-Cooker Bahn Mi Rice Bowls.

broth with shiitake mushrooms and scallions

Okay so the other day, I was craving my wonton soup. It was ALL I could think about. I make this butternut squash wonton soup every winter and love it so much. It’s simple, but does require you making the butternut wontons.

I didn’t have wonton wrappers… or squash… and I just didn’t feel like making them anyway. 

But!

I did have potstickers. We ALWAYS have potstickers on hand. Always. I love the ones from Trader Joe’s and Costco. Sometimes I’ll do them for dinner or as a weekend snack with a quick dipping sauce. Love ‘em!

broth with mushrooms and potstickers

So I figured, why not throw those in?

Um, it was SO GOOD. A moment of brilliance – not really, but you know.

I love that the potstickers are a little larger than the wonton pouches I make at home. And the filling has more texture too. Overall, they are more filling.

This is just a win all around!

The soup starts with a sauté of shiitake mushrooms, garlic and ginger. This is the biggest building block of flavor and also makes your entire house smell incredible. Then, the broth is a simple base of chicken or vegetable stock. I add in some soy sauce, a little toasted sesame oil too. Some sliced green onions for more flavor.

That’s it!

You can season this and flavor it to your liking. 

And once the broth is ready to go, all you have to do is bring it to a simmer and throw in those potstickers. Soup will be ready in about 3 minutes!

See? Ridiculously easy.

I love to top mine with a sprinkle of furikake seasoning, which I always have on hand for some asian-inspired dishes. A little sprinkle goes a long way and it adds a ton of flavor to this soup too! 

What I love most here – aside from the fact that this takes MINUTES to make!! – is that you can really customize this based on your preferences. You could use chicken, pork or vegetable potstickers. Whatever stock you have on a hand. A few extra veggies if you want to clean out the fridge, like maybe shredded carrots or a handful of spinach or something. 

I think I might be the most excited that this is now a part of my recipe rotation!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, coconut oil or butter
  • 8 ounces sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for sprinkling
  • 12 ounces frozen potstickers or dumplings
  • furikake seasoning, for serving

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a stock pot over medium-low heat. Add in the garlic, ginger and mushrooms. Stir and cook until the mushrooms soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Pour in the stock, water, sesame oil and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer - I suggest tasting the broth here to see if it has enough flavor. If not, add a pinch of salt until you get the desired savory flavor you want!
  • Once the broth is simmering, add in the potstickers. Cook for 3 minutes (or longer, if the package directions call for it), until the potstickers are cooked through.
  • Serve immediately with extra scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil and furikake seasoning for topping.
  • Note: these leftovers only last about 24 hours in the fridge - because the potstickers begin to break down. This isn’t a great meal to prep ahead of time for that reason!

Origin of French Onion Soup

As the name suggests, French onion soup originated in France. Specifically, it’s believed that King Louis XV created it for a party when he was running low on ingredients (thank goodness for onions).

Here in the Midwest, we are in the thick of winter. It’s not unusual to get an ice storm one day followed by a few inches of snow the next day.

What a joy. (Can you feel me rolling my eyes when I say that?)

But when the weather is cold and messy and unpredictable, I very predictably want to cozy up with a warm bowl of soup or stew. 

My favorite right now? This super hearty Slow Cooker Beef and Barley Stew.

Soup season is the best season, so I’m sharing 20 of my best soup recipes today for you!

While I enjoy soup all year round, right now it’s reeeeeally soup season. Right?!

It’s cold and snowy and we all need some comfort. Even if it’s not snowy where you live, I’d say that January is prime soup season, so here we are. I don’t discriminate against any type of soup – give me a chili, a broth-based soup, a creamy soup, a soup with pasta, a hearty meat-filled one, classic chicken noodle or plain and creamy bisque. Seriously, I love ’em all.

I try to include a soup recipe each week in my weekly menu in the chillier months, but wanted to list a bunch here in case you want to go on a soup-making binge. I love to make a big batch and freeze some (it’s one thing that I don’t mind freezing at all!) and it’s such a perfect recipe to prep for lunches or a busy week ahead. Cannot be beat!

I also have a few more soup recipes up my sleeve this season, so stay tuned…
