Soup Base
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (canola or avocado)
- 1 tbsp Thai red curry paste
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tbsp fish sauce (or soy sauce for vegetarian)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp lime juice

- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or cremini)
- 1 cup baby spinach or bok choy
Optional Toppings

- Fresh cilantro
- Thai basil

Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the Thai red curry paste, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. Stir continuously for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes fragrant, releasing the rich flavors of the curry paste and spices.
- Add Broth & Coconut Milk: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth along with the full-fat coconut milk. Stir the ingredients together to combine evenly and bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Season the Broth: Add fish sauce (or soy sauce if vegetarian), sugar, and lime juice to the simmering soup. Stir well and taste the broth, adjusting the seasoning to balance salty, sweet, and tangy flavors as desired.
- Add Dumplings: Gently place the frozen dumplings or pot stickers into the simmering soup. Cook them for 6 to 8 minutes, or according to the package instructions, until they are heated through and tender.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and baby spinach or bok choy. Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant and fresh.
Notes
- You can substitute fish sauce with soy sauce to make the soup vegetarian-friendly.
- Use gluten-free dumplings if you need a gluten-free version.
- For extra protein, add cooked shredded chicken or tofu.
- Adjust the amount of red curry paste based on your preferred spice level.
