Pot stickers, dumplings, jiaozi, gyoza, guotie, whatever you want to call them, you’ll love this pork dumpling soup. It’s such an easy soup to make, and you can use a variety of ingredients to switch things up.

Is it Authentic Pork Dumpling Soup?

Authentically delicious. I used a soup base that could come from Asian cuisine, as do the pot stickers, but then I used a ton of Tony Chachere’s, and threw in some potatoes because I had them on hand. So it’s not authentic to any one culture but this pork dumpling is delicious and that’s all that really matters some days.

Recipe Sites, Am I Right?

This is not a recipe site where you have to read a whole bunch of nonsense before getting to the recipe so I’ll get straight to it. The base ingredients are pretty easy to have on hand. The true star of the show here is the frozen pork pot stickers. I got mine from Trader Joe’s. Your pork dumpling soup will cook up super quick, perfect for a night when you’re bone tired from work and don’t want to stand over the stove. Throw the ingredients into the pot to simmer for a bit, and go put your feet up. It all comes together in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

5 or 6 yellow potatoes, diced
one yellow or white onion, diced
5 carrots, chopped on the diagonal into large pieces
one package of baby bella mushrooms, halved
one bag of baby spinach
one package of pork pot stickers
48 fl oz chicken stock
~1 1/2 cup water (to taste)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
orageno
Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning to taste
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp cooking oil

Cooking Instructions

Heat oil over medium-high heat. Chop the onion and when the oil is hot, saute the onions until translucent and aromatic.

Chop potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms. Add them to the mixture. Add salt & pepper to taste. Saute for 1-2 minutes.

Add chicken stock, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Add dry seasonings. I use Tony Chachere’s on just about everything because it’s a nice general blend of seasoning. I added extra oregano even though Tony Chachere’s has oregano already in it.

If you don’t have any of this miracle seasoning mix on hand, you could approximate the mix with this copycat mix from Food.com. It calls for salt, red pepper, black pepper, chili powder, garlic, cornstarch, celery salt, mustard, basil, sage, onion salt, oregano, and thyme.

Let the soup simmer on medium for 25-30 minutes until potatoes are tender and flavors have married.
