Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 4 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger (paste or about a 1″ knob)
  • 1 tablespoon minced lemongrass or paste (optional)
  • 3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegan)
  • 14 ounces canned coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce (or soy sauce for vegan)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 pound frozen dumplings (potstickers or wontons)
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1 lime, halved (juice to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil and sauté onions: Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat and sauté diced onions for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add aromatics and curry paste: Add garlic, ginger, lemongrass (if using), and curry paste. Stir and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add broth and coconut milk: Pour in chicken broth and coconut milk. Stir well and bring to a low boil.
  4. Season the broth: Stir in fish sauce and sugar. Let the broth simmer gently.
  5. Cook the dumplings: Add frozen dumplings and cook according to package instructions, usually 6 minutes, until fully cooked.
  6. Finish soup with greens and herbs: Turn off heat and stir in chopped spinach, green onions, cilantro, and lime juice.
  7. Let the soup rest and serve: Let soup sit a few minutes until greens wilt. Serve hot with additional toppings if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use vegetable broth and soy sauce instead of fish sauce.
  • Lemongrass is optional but adds a lovely citrusy aroma to the soup.
  • Adjust lime juice to your taste preference for acidity.
  • Frozen dumplings can be potstickers, wontons, or your favorite variety.
  • Spinach can be substituted with other leafy greens like bok choy or kale.
