A flavorful and comforting Thai-inspired curry dumpling soup featuring a rich coconut milk broth infused with red curry paste, fresh ginger, and lemongrass, combined with tender dumplings and fresh greens for a hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 3 cups chicken broth (Swanson recommended)
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely minced
  • 4 tbsp red curry paste
  • 14 fl oz full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 lime (juice and zest)
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp chopped lemongrass (optional)
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1 lb frozen dumplings (chicken or pork)

For the Garnish:

  • Green onions, diagonally sliced
  • Minced cilantro
  • Chile oil or chili crisp (e.g., Laoganma Spicy Chili Crisp)
  • Fried onions
  • Chopped Thai basil

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a 4 to 5 quart soup pot or Dutch oven until the oil shimmers on the surface. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until they soften and sweat.
  2. Incorporate Aromatics: Add 4 tablespoons of red curry paste, 1 tablespoon freshly minced ginger, 1 tablespoon chopped lemongrass (if using), and 3 finely chopped garlic cloves to the softened onions. Stir well and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and well combined.
  3. Add Liquids and Simmer: Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in 3 cups of chicken broth and 14 fl oz of full-fat coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce heat to maintain an active simmer to blend the flavors.
  4. Add Seasonings and Greens: Stir in 2 teaspoons of sugar, juice of 1 lime, and 2 teaspoons of fish sauce. Add 1 cup chopped spinach, 2 sliced green onions, and 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro to the pot, allowing the greens to wilt slightly.
  5. Cook the Dumplings: Gently add 1 pound of frozen chicken or pork dumplings to the simmering soup. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the dumplings are fully heated through and cooked, floating to the surface.
  6. Serve with Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with diagonally sliced green onions, minced cilantro, a drizzle of chile oil or chili crisp, fried onions, and chopped Thai basil for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For authentic flavor, use fresh lemongrass and freshly minced ginger.
  • Full-fat coconut milk adds creaminess, but light coconut milk can be substituted for a lower-fat option.
  • Frozen dumplings can be substituted with freshly made or store-bought varieties of your choice.
  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste according to your preferred spice level.
  • Garnishes add texture and freshness; feel free to omit or add other herbs like mint or cilantro to taste.
  • Use gluten-free dumplings to make this recipe gluten-free.
