Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 pound frozen dumplings (potstickers or wontons, use vegan if preferred)
  • 2 cups chopped bok choy or spinach (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the red curry paste and turmeric. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to toast the spices.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Add the soy sauce and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Once simmering, add the frozen dumplings to the broth. Cook according to the package directions, usually 6 to 8 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through.
  6. If using, stir in the bok choy or spinach during the last 2 minutes of cooking until wilted. Taste the broth and add salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Serve the soup immediately in bowls. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing into the soup.

Notes

  • For a heartier meal, add shredded cooked chicken or cubed firm tofu along with the dumplings.
  • If you prefer a thinner broth, use light coconut milk or add an extra half cup of vegetable broth.
  • This recipe is freezer-friendly; freeze the soup base without the dumplings, or freeze cooked soup with the dumplings added just before serving.
