Cooking in the Burbs Vol 2

I found this recipe in FoodDay last week. It is actually a repeat of a recipe I tried a few years ago from FoodDay and they re-printed it. Once I saw it, I immediately went to the store to buy everything to make it. Ben only gave it a 3, but I think it's really good.



Pot Sticker Spinach Chicken Soup



2 14 1/2-ounce cans reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth or one 32-ounce box
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 fresh green or red jalapeno chile, seeded and minced
16 to 18 frozen pork pot stickers (or substitute other pot stickers; see note)
11/2 cups fresh baby spinach or regular spinach, torn (about 1 ounce) or 1/3 cup frozen leaf spinach (one-fourth of a 10-ounce box), thawed, drained and squeezed to remove excess liquid

Hot chili oil (optional)



In a medium saucepan, simmer chicken broth with garlic and jalapeno over low heat for 5 minutes. Add frozen pot stickers and simmer an additional 5 minutes. Add spinach and simmer just until wilted but still bright green.
Serve hot, with chili oil on the table for those who prefer it. Note: Pot stickers come in various sizes and packages. We used Trader Joe's frozen Pork Gyoza Pot Stickers (also labeled Pork and Vegetable Dumplings); there are 24 to 26 per 1-pound package
