Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 cups fresh greens (spinach or kale)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Dumplings

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the aromatics.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the finely chopped onion to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, enhancing the soup’s base flavors.
  3. Add Red Curry Paste: Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 2 minutes to release the spices’ aroma and meld flavors together.
  4. Add Liquids: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable or chicken broth. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to create a creamy, flavorful soup base.
  5. Add Vegetables: Add sliced carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas to the pot. Season with soy sauce or tamari and lime juice. Let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
  6. Make Dumpling Batter: In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and melted butter, then stir until just combined, forming a batter for dumplings.
  7. Cook Dumplings: Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes until the dumplings are fluffy and fully cooked through.
  8. Add Greens: Stir in the fresh greens and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables and greens to enhance flavor and nutrition.
  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste for spiciness preference.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs such as cilantro or basil for added freshness and visual appeal.
  • The soup can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free flour and broth.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for 2-3 months.
  • When freezing, leave space in containers for expansion.
  • Use homemade or store-bought dumplings as preferred.
