Ingredients

Scale

Broth Base

  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth

Dumplings

  • 1215 fresh or frozen dumplings (pork, chicken, or vegetable-filled)

Flavor Enhancers

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Garnishes

  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Thai basil leaves
  • Green onions, sliced
  • Sliced red chilies (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Gently heat the coconut milk in a pot over medium heat. Whisk in the red curry paste and cook until fragrant. Slowly stir in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to blend the flavors.
  2. Add Flavor Enhancers: Once the broth is simmering, add fish sauce or soy sauce for depth. Squeeze in fresh lime juice to brighten the flavor profile.
  3. Cook the Dumplings: Carefully add the dumplings into the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions or until the dumplings float and are heated throughout, ensuring they are tender and flavorful.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Stir in fresh herbs such as cilantro and Thai basil. Serve the soup hot, topped with sliced green onions and optional red chilies for an added fresh and spicy touch.

Notes

  • Use fresh red curry paste for a more authentic and flavorful broth.
  • Simmer the soup gently to prevent coconut milk from separating and preserve delicate flavors.
  • Optionally, cook dumplings separately and add to the soup just before serving to avoid overcooking.
  • Adjust spice levels gradually by starting with less curry paste and adding more as needed.
  • Freeze homemade dumplings ahead of time for quick and convenient meals later.
