Shortcut Potsticker or Wonton Soup with Spinach -- an all ALDI recipe
This easy 20 minute wonton soup recipe takes advantage of frozen potstickers (or wontons!) to cut prep time to a minimum, while fresh spinach adds an extra pop of flavor, color, and nutrition.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ⅛ medium yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic about 2 cloves
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon powdered ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
- 16 oz frozen potstickers or wontons
- 3 oz fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 green onions thinly sliced, top green part only
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat while you slice the onion.
- Add the onion to the pot and saute for two minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in garlic and saute briefly.
- Stir in the chicken broth, soy sauce, ginger, and crushed red pepper, and bring to a boil.
- Add the frozen potstickers to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for seven minutes, or until potstickers are cooked through.
- While the potstickers are simmering, chop up your green onions.
- Stir in the spinach, sesame oil, and green onion.
- Simmer for two more minutes on medium-low to wilt the spinach, stirring occasionally.
- Serve soup hot.
Notes
Discard the sauce packet from the potstickers, or save for later use. I used pork potstickers in my soup; substitute chicken if you prefer.
