Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
1 (2-inch) knob ginger, peeled and cut into thin sticks
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
6 cups chicken broth
(1-pound) bag frozen potstickers (18 to 20 pieces)
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste
2 to 3 scallions, thinly sliced, to garnish
Handful chow mein noodles, to garnish

Steps:

Place a medium heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat with the oil. Add the carrots, ginger and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until the ginger and garlic are aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring the liquid up to a bubble.
Once the broth is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the potstickers. Simmer them, stirring gently, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce.
Serve the soup garnished with scallions and chow mein noodles.
