Description
A warm and comforting soup blending the creamy richness of coconut milk with bold Thai curry flavors, topped with fluffy dumplings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust to taste)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or palm sugar
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup snap peas, ends trimmed
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup water (adjust as needed)
- Optional: 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- Optional: Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Optional: Sriracha or chili paste for extra spice
Instructions
- Start by heating the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced onion, and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Then, add the red curry paste, cooking it for about 2 minutes to release its flavors.
- Pour in the coconut milk and broth, stirring to combine. Add the soy sauce and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer and let cook for about 15 minutes.
- Add the sliced bell pepper and snap peas, cooking for another 5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add water, stirring until a dough forms.
- Drop bite-sized pieces of the dumpling dough into the gently simmering soup. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until they float to the surface.
- Squeeze in the lime juice to brighten the soup, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and drizzle of Sriracha if desired.
Notes
For a healthier twist, consider using whole wheat flour for dumplings or light coconut milk. Adjust seasoning to taste.
