Reviews
Most of Ree’s recipes are right on….but this one needs some help. It turned out great once I did the following: added more chicken broth and adjusted the soy and ginger accordingly. Added cut mushrooms and spinach. Added sriracha and two chicken bouillon cubes to add some depth. This may be crazy, but pan fried the chicken & cilantro wontons I think I got from Costco before adding to the soup… and it ended up amazing!
So simple, so good. Sometimes I buy chop suey veg mix instead of broccoli slaw. Perfect.
Made this tonight and hit the spot. Came home from work and after fighting allergies past few days was thinking soup would help. Rummaging around for ingredients and remembered this from a past episode and had enough to put it all together. I had frozen broccoli so cooked that in the broth a few minutes ahead of the potstickers to give it time to start to soften. Also added mushrooms, delicious. I confess that I heated everything up in the microwave instead of in the stove (gasp!) and let me tell you it worked out just great and have no shame in my weeknight microwaved shortcut soup. Will make this again.
I love this recipe and have made it a dozen times or so now. It is my go-to when if someone in the family is sick, when I want comfort food, when it’s cold and I want to warm up, when it’s summery and I want something bright and light, when I’m tired and want something healthy and easy… it’s pretty much perfect for any occasion. And I really like that it chan be changed up – instead of pot stickers, sometimes I’ll throw in meatballs or shredded chicken. Or if I want to use up left over broccoli stems, I’ll shred those, or use whatever veg I have on hand. So versatile and easy. Love, love, love.
So simple and so delicious I put mushrooms I would do it again
I loved it. I got carried away with the salt the first time, but corrected it the next time. I think I will fry the dumplings or at least part of them next time just because of the reviews. I think it will be a great soup to give to sick friends instead of the old chicken soup standard.
This is no gussied up ramen. Fine but would not make again.
I’m vegetarian, so when Ree does recipes, I always see if I can modify them and this one was easy! I just used veggie broth and veggie pot stickers. Everything else the same. It was delicious! My husband even loved it. I definitely recommend this recipe. It’s super quick and easy. I did pan fry my dumplings in a skillet before adding to broth due to reading other reviews. Had no problem with dumplings falling apart. Thanks Ree!
Great flavor, so easy one pot. I added a little red Chile oil on top. Will definitely make this again.
Amazing! Whole family loved it and I have some picky eaters. This is going in my “dinner staples” rotation .for sure.
