Ingredients
  

Vegetables and Broth
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 large leek, cleaned and chopped (white and light green parts only)
  • 1/3 cup shaved or chopped carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 caps shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
  • 3 baby bok choy, tender leaves and firm stems chopped separately
  • 1/4 cup lite soy sauce
  • 5 cups chicken or vegetable broth (= two 14 oz cans plus 1 cup of water)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon, chicken or mushroom (optional but delicious)
Potstickers
  • 1 1/2 pounds frozen potstickers, wontons or dumplings (minis recommended, no need to thaw)
Garnishes
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions (about 2 green onions)
  • sesame seeds for topping (see notes for other suggestions)

Equipment

  • 4 quart Dutch oven or soup pot

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat the vegetable or olive oil in a 4 quart Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat until the oil shimmers.
  2. Add the leeks, carrots, garlic, mushrooms, and the firm baby bok choy stems to the pot and sauté until the leeks are soft (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add the soy sauce, broth (and water if using) and sesame oil. Increase heat and bring the soup to a light boil, stirring frequently.
  4. If using, stir in the Better Than Bouillon paste until completely dissolved.
  5. Carefully add the frozen potstickers to the pot, and cook according to the boil instructions on the packaging (usually just a few minutes).
  6. Reduce heat to low and stir in the reserved baby bok choy leaves and most of the green onions (reserve about a tablespoon for the soup bowl).
  7. Serve immediately, topping bowls of soup with more green onions and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Notes

Feel free to customize with extra vegetables or protein like tofu or shredded chicken. This soup can be made vegetarian by using vegetable broth and meatless potstickers.
