Pro Tips for Perfect Asian Soup Recipes

For your Thai Potsticker Soup Recipe, stir coconut milk well before adding; it separates sometimes. Don’t boil hard after potstickers go in, or they turn mushy. Fresh ginger makes all the difference in this easy soup recipe, grating it fine releases more punch.

No potstickers? Wontons or dumplings.
Coconut milk out? Cream with coconut extract.
Ginger shy? Powder, but fresh rules.
Soy sauce? Coconut aminos for sweet umami.

Vegetarian: Veggie broth, tofu potstickers.
Spicy: Sriracha splash.
Veggie boost: Mushrooms or snap peas.
Gluten-free: Tamari swaps soy.
Nutty: Peanut butter dollop.

Use veggie potstickers for meat-free nights.
Simmer low to keep broth silky.
Taste lime last; it wakes everything up.
