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.

Easy to prepare and cook. Delicious!!
I have made this soup several times, and it’s always a hit. Even with my curry hating hubby! Not spicy, but I think it’s got plenty of great Thai flavor. Once, thanks to covid, my grocery order was lacking sweet potatoes, so in a pinch I substituted frozen carrot slices and it worked just as well. Plus, this soup is perfect for year round. The flavors are bright enough for spring, but it’s also hearty enough for fall and winter. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this soup. Thank you so much for your feedback!
I cannot find any gluten free/dairy free potstickers. Any other suggestions on what to add to the soup instead?
Unfortunately, I don’t have a good substitute for the potstickers in this soup. You can use homemade potstickers or wontons or dumplings that are gluten free.
Feel good foods makes gluten free/dairy free pot sticks. You can get them at natural grocers, sprouts and thrive market.
So easy to make and turned out soooo good.
I love this soup! It is so easy and has become my favourite new go-to soup for a quick lunch.
This recipe is amazing! I added salt and a little more curry paste, but otherwise it’s perfect. Several of my friends have also tried and loved it!
