We have another great soup recipe courtesy of The Modern Proper. It’s an Easy Asian Dumpling Soup (Potsticker Soup), which is full of flavor and super healthy.

The star ingredient are Potstickers, or Chinese dumplings, which are steamed on one side and pan-fried on the other and usually filled with pork. Add signature flavors such as ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds and you’ll have a fresh and flavorful dinner that the whole fam will enjoy!
