Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 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 coconut aminos for vegan)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 pound frozen dumplings or potstickers
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime, juiced

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in curry paste, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and coconut milk. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Add fish sauce and sugar. Stir to combine.
  6. Add frozen dumplings directly into the broth. Simmer according to package instructions (usually 3–5 minutes).
  7. Turn off heat. Stir in chopped spinach, green onions, cilantro, and lime juice.
  8. Let rest a few minutes until spinach wilts. Serve hot with toppings if desired.

Notes

  • For added flavor, pan-fry dumplings before adding to soup.
  • Adjust spice level by starting with less curry paste and adding more to taste.
  • Vegan version: use vegetable broth, plant-based dumplings, and substitute fish sauce.
  • Don’t freeze the soup; dumplings may become mushy.
  • Store leftovers in fridge for 1–2 days.
