A creamy coconut curry soup with soft, pillowy dumplings floating in a rich, flavorful broth. Perfect for cozy nights in or chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (13.5 oz)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2–3 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, bell peppers, snap peas)
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional, substitute with soy sauce or tamari for vegetarian option)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro, optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop the vegetables, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Set everything aside for easy access.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic and ginger. Cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
  3. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine. Add the chopped vegetables and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk until a sticky dough forms. Optionally, mix in some chopped herbs.
  6. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the dough into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 10-12 minutes. They should puff up and float when done.
  7. Stir in the lime juice and fish sauce (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

[‘Cooking the curry paste in oil releases its full flavor, so don’t skip this step.’, ‘Keep the dumplings small as they’ll expand while cooking.’, ‘Customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand.’, ‘Avoid overcooking the dumplings to prevent them from becoming tough.’, ‘Adjust the amount of curry paste to suit your spice tolerance.’]
