Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep it in the morning before the girls wake up, then finish it right before dinner. Keep the potstickers separate until you reheat to maintain texture.

Can I use different greens?

Absolutely. Spinach, bok choy, kale, and chard all work. Add heartier greens earlier so they cook through.

How long will leftovers keep?

In the refrigerator, the soup should keep for up to three days. Freeze the broth separately for longer storage.

Are homemade potstickers worth the effort?

If you have time, yes. Making them can be a family activity. But frozen good-quality potstickers are an excellent shortcut and still delicious.

Can I add noodles to the soup?

Yes. Add cooked noodles right at the end so they do not overcook. Rice noodles and udon are lovely choices.
