Serving Suggestions for Spicy Potsticker Soup
This Spicy Potsticker Soup is delightful on its own, served in a cozy bowl, but it pairs fabulously with a side of crusty bread or a light salad if you crave some crunch. Don’t forget to garnish with extra green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a pop of color and flavor!
Storing Your Leftover Soup
If you have any soup left, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat it gently on the stove before serving. Note that the potstickers might absorb more broth over time, so you may want to add a little water or extra broth when reheating.
Tips for Making Spicy Potsticker Soup
- Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh ginger and garlic will elevate the flavors immensely.
- Adjust Spice Level: Feel free to add more or less Sriracha to fit your family’s heat tolerance.
- Add Protein: For an extra protein boost, consider adding cooked chicken or tofu to the mix.
Variations on This Delicious Soup
This soup is versatile! You could switch out bok choy for other leafy greens like kale or spinach. Additionally, if you want to go vegan, use vegetable broth and omitting any meat-based additions is a great option.
