Description
A quick, comforting soup made with a rich coconut curry broth and fluffy herb dumplings. This one-pot meal is hearty, flavorful, and ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed and halved
- 1 cup baby spinach or kale
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (like cilantro or scallions), chopped
- ½ cup coconut milk (for dumplings)
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the red curry paste and turmeric, cooking for 1–2 minutes to release the flavors.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
- Add the carrots and green beans. Cook for 5–7 minutes until just tender.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and herbs. Stir in the coconut milk to form a sticky dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough (about 1 tablespoon each) into the simmering soup. Cover and cook for 10–12 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Stir in the spinach and season with salt and pepper. Once the greens wilt, serve hot.
Notes
- Swap in other veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms based on availability.
- Tofu or shredded chicken can be added for extra protein.
- For a vegan version, check that your curry paste is free of fish sauce or shrimp.
- Reheat with added broth or water as dumplings absorb liquid over time.
- Use gluten-free flour and baking powder for a gluten-free option.
