Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 2 tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste
- 1 can (14 oz) full-fat Coconut Milk
- 4 cups low-sodium Vegetable Broth
Dumplings & Vegetables
- 12 oz frozen or homemade Dumplings
- 2 cups Fresh Vegetables (bell peppers, bok choy, etc.), chopped
Garnish
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
- ¼ cup Cilantro, chopped
- ¼ cup Green Onions, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Gather all fresh vegetables and chop them into bite-sized pieces suitable for soup to ensure quick and even cooking.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, cooking until they become soft and translucent, which forms the flavor base of the soup.
- Add Curry Paste: Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook it briefly until fragrant to release its aromatic spices and deepen the soup’s flavor.
- Add Liquids: Pour in the full-fat coconut milk and low-sodium vegetable broth, stirring well to combine all ingredients evenly and create a rich curry base.
- Cook Dumplings & Vegetables: Add the dumplings and chopped fresh vegetables to the pot. Simmer the soup for about 10 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through and the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
- Finish & Garnish: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the soup to add brightness. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions to add freshness and enhance the flavors before serving.
Notes
- Use frozen dumplings for convenience or homemade dumplings for a personal touch.
- Adjust the amount of Thai red curry paste to control the spice level.
- Vegetables such as bell peppers, bok choy, carrots, or snap peas work well in this soup.
- To make it vegan or vegetarian, ensure the dumplings do not contain meat.
- For a richer broth, use full-fat coconut milk, but light coconut milk can be substituted for fewer calories.
