Pot Sticker Soup

Madam BadWolf has returned from her duties as Grandmother and is tired, annoyed, and hungry. She has given me a two-word directive, “Feed Me.”

There is an old Yiddish proverb that states, “Troubles go down better with soup.”, So soup it shall be.

I always have various stocks and broths in the pantry, along with coconut milk, so something vaguely Asian seems to be in order. Searching the refrigerator for protein I find red curry paste, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, and a package of potsticker dumplings.

I could cook off the dumplings as potstickers and add them to the soup base at the last minute, but in the interest of time, I’ll cook them in the soup.

From Wikipedia:

Soup is a primarily liquid food, generally served warm or hot (but may be cool or cold), that is made by combining ingredients of meat or vegetables with stock, milk, or water. Hot soups are additionally characterized by boiling solid ingredients in liquids in a pot until the flavors are extracted, forming a broth. Soups are similar to stews, and in some cases there may not be a clear distinction between the two; however, soups generally have more liquid (broth) than stews.
