What is a Potsticker?
Potstickers are steam fried dumplings made with round wrappers and stuffed with a variety of fillings. They are basically dumplings that are cooked so that they are slightly crispy on the outside. You can find potstickers stuffed with chicken, pork, vegetables or other fillings. They are often served with a soy dipping sauce.
Potsticker Soup Recipe
We use frozen potstickers for this recipe because they make cooking and prepping this soup so much easier. Use your favorite flavor of potstickers. Using vegetable potstickers makes this soup vegan. But, any flavor of potstickers or dumplings taste amazing in this recipe.

Made this soup this morning. It’s not spicy at all. In fact it is lacking flavor. But it is pretty.
Hi, Tammy! Sorry to hear you weren’t happy with the soup. You can add additional curry paste for more spicy flavor.
This may be a silly question, do you put the potstickers in still frozen or thaw them before putting them in the soup?
Hi, Kalee! You can add the potstickers frozen. 🙂
This soup is so beautiful! Is it hot due to the red curry paste? My husband does not like hot or spicey foods.
Hi, Lin! I don’t like spicy foods and I don’t think this soup is spicy. However, if you are still unsure, you can cut back the curry paste to only one tablespoon. Enjoy!
OMG I love potstickers. I’ve never had the courage to try cooking them myself. Thanks for the recipe. This doesn’t look too intimidating! Thanks for sharing with us at Share the Wealth Sundays!
This soup sounds so good, Ashely! Sometimes I like to add tortellini to soups to make them more hearty, but never thought to do potstickers before. Genius! I can’t wait to try it out! Thanks for the great idea. Oh and I’m loving the new site!
Love this so much!! I’m a huge fan of potstickers, but putting them in this beautiful soup is seriously a genius idea!
This soup looks amazing! Love the flavor combinations! Definitely a must make!
Thai coconut anything is pretty much always a yes for me. What a great way to combine the convenience of a frozen product with the love of home cooking.
