Soup Ingredients

  • 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 the base for your soup.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the finely chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Red Curry Paste: Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the paste’s flavors to meld and intensify.
  4. Add Liquids: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable or chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Add sliced carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas. Season with soy sauce or tamari and lime juice before simmering for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Make Dumpling Batter: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  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 and Finish: Stir in the fresh spinach or kale and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted. Adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth to keep the soup vegetarian.
  • Use gluten-free flour if you need a gluten-free version for the dumplings.
  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste based on your preferred spice level.
  • Fresh greens like kale will add a slightly heartier texture compared to spinach.
  • Make sure the soup simmers gently when cooking dumplings to ensure they cook evenly without breaking apart.
