- 1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt, to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, heat a splash of vegetable broth and add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Allow them to simmer gently to release their fragrant aroma.
- Add the Vegetables: Once the broth is fragrant, add the thinly sliced carrots and baby bok choy or spinach leaves. Cook until the vegetables soften slightly but still retain a pleasant bite.
- Incorporate the Potstickers: Gently place the vegetarian potstickers into the simmering broth. Cook until they float and are heated through, indicating they are perfectly tender.
- Season the Soup: Stir in the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), a drizzle of apple cider vinegar, and salt to taste. Let everything simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the soup from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the warmth and flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs as a final garnish to preserve their brightness and aroma.
- Avoid overcooking potstickers to keep their texture tender yet firm.
- Taste the broth before serving and adjust apple cider vinegar or vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to balance flavors.
- Chop vegetables and herbs ahead of time to expedite cooking.
- For a thicker broth, incorporate a natural gelling agent dissolved in warm water and stir gently into the soup.
