What I love most about this semi-homemade recipe is I'm using some frozen foods (potstickers), some convenience foods (bagged coleslaw mix) and a handful of fresh ingredients.
Using these types of ingredients makes it possible to get a home cooked meal on a busy night.
Don't feel bad about it.

📋Ingredients
- Frozen Potstickers - chicken, pork or vegetable
- Bagged Coleslaw Mix - found with the bagged salads, it's just a blend of shredded cabbage and carrot
- Mushrooms
- Green Onions
- Cilantro
- Broth - Chicken or Vegetable (homemade chicken bone broth is also great)
- Garlic Chili Sauce - found in the International section or you can use Sriracha
When it comes to the broth, I use either a boxed broth or if I have any of my homemade bone broth on hand I use that. Something I've been wanting to try is using the leftover braising liquid from this Chashu Pork recipe. It works well in ramen dishes so I bet it would be fabulous in this soup as well! I'll report back if I try it!

🔪Instructions
Start by adding cabbage mixture, mushrooms and broth to a dutch oven or soup pot and place it over medium-high heat.
Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer 2-3 minutes before adding the frozen potstickers to the pot.
Continue to simmer the soup until the vegetables are tender and the potstickers are cooked through; about 8-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir green onions and cilantro into soup.
Ladle soup into bowls and top each bowl with a little chili garlic sauce or sriracha.
If you want more of a spicy potsticker soup just add more of the sriracha but if you don't want any heat, leave it off.
And if you really want to go over the top, drizzle it with this Garlic Chili Oil Recipe.
🍴Substitutions
Coleslaw Mix - If this pre-shred mix isn't available, try any combination of baby bok choy, spinach, edamame, carrot sticks and or napa cabbage.
Herbs/Seasonings - Try adding lemongrass or ginger. There is also a seasoning found at Trader Joe's called "Umami Seasoning" and a sprinkle of that is delicious too.
Potstickers - gyoza, dumplings and wontons can be used instead.
🍲Slow cooker instructions
If you prefer to prepare this easy frozen potsticker soup in a slow cooker, just add broth, mushrooms and vegetables to slow cooker. Cook on low 4-6 hours.
Add frozen potstickers during the last hour of cooking. Stir green onions and cilantro in just before serving.
🍽️Storage
Soup can be stored in an air tight container for 3 days in the refrigerator. However, this type of soup is best eaten freshly made.
