Instructions
- Prepare the Potstickers: If using frozen potstickers, cook them according to package instructions. If you’re making them from scratch, fill and fold the wonton wrappers, then steam or pan-fry them until golden.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Vegetables: Toss in sliced carrots and bell peppers. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Make the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the creamy peanut butter until fully dissolved, creating a rich and nutty base.
- Incorporate Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the pot, stirring it into the broth. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully cooked through.
- Add Potstickers: Gently place the cooked potstickers into the soup, allowing them to soak up the flavors for about 3-4 minutes.
- Season: Taste your soup and add soy sauce or tamari for saltiness, and a squeeze of lime juice for brightness. Adjust to your preference.
- Finish with Greens: Right before serving, stir in chopped bok choy or any other greens you like. Cook just until wilted.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts, and lime wedges for an extra touch of flavor.
