Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 4 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped ginger (paste or approximately a 1-inch piece)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped lemongrass or paste (optional)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 14 ounces coconut milk from a can
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 pound frozen dumplings (such as potstickers or wontons)
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 lime

Optional Garnishes

  • Diagonally sliced green onions
  • Minced cilantro leaves
  • Chopped Thai basil
  • Fried onions
  • Chile oil or chili crisp

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Onions: Begin by heating oil over medium heat in a 4 to 5 quart soup pot or Dutch oven until it shimmers. Add the diced onions and sweat them, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. Incorporate Aromatics: Add the Thai red curry paste, chopped ginger, optional lemongrass, and garlic into the pot. Stir thoroughly and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and blended well with the onions.
  3. Add Liquids and Simmer: Increase heat to medium-high and pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Bring the soup to a low boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer, allowing flavors to meld together.
  4. Add Dumplings and Season: Stir in fish sauce and sugar, then add the frozen dumplings to the simmering soup. Return to a bubbling simmer and cook the dumplings according to package instructions, generally for a few minutes, ensuring they are thoroughly heated.
  5. Add Fresh Ingredients: Turn off heat and stir in the chopped spinach, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro. Let the soup sit briefly until the spinach wilts. Squeeze juice from half a lime into the soup, stir well, and taste to adjust lime juice as desired.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Garnish with diagonally sliced green onions, minced cilantro, chopped Thai basil, fried onions, and a drizzle of chili oil or chili crisp as preferred. Serve hot for a comforting and flavorful experience.

Notes

  • Use any frozen dumplings such as potstickers or wontons; pre-cooked meat inside them means quick cooking time.
  • Lemongrass is optional but adds authentic Thai flavor; use paste if chopped lemongrass is unavailable.
  • Adjust fish sauce and sugar according to taste for balanced saltiness and sweetness.
  • Fresh herbs and chili condiments add layers of flavor and texture; customize garnishes to your preference.
  • Can be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth and using vegetarian dumplings.
