Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful soup. I promise, it’s a simple list!

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or coconut oil for extra flavor)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced (fresh garlic adds more punch than powdered!)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 can (14 oz) of coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth if you prefer)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for topping)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • For the dumplings:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ready to bring your kitchen to life? Here’s how to make this magic happen, step by step!

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until it’s translucent and fragrant. This is the base of your soup!
  2. Next, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for another minute. The aroma will begin to fill your kitchen – it’s intoxicating!
  3. Stir in the red curry paste, and let it cook for 1-2 minutes. You want those spices to bloom and create a rich flavor profile.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir everything together until well combined. This is where the magic happens – a creamy, dreamy soup!
  5. Add the mixed vegetables, salt, black pepper, and soy sauce. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes until the veggies are tender.
  6. While the soup is simmering, let’s whip up those fluffy dumplings! In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well!
  7. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. It’s important not to overmix – that will make your dumplings dense. A few lumps are okay!
  8. Using a spoon, drop dollops of the dumpling batter directly into the simmering soup. They will puff up beautifully while they cook.
  9. Cover the pot and let the dumplings steam in the soup for about 10 minutes. Don’t peek – you want them to stay fluffy!
  10. Once the dumplings are cooked through, taste your soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Finish with fresh cilantro and sliced green onions for that fresh pop!

Pro Tips & Variations

Want to make this soup your own? Here are a few fun twists you can try:

  • Extra spice: If you like it hot, throw in some diced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Protein boost: Add some cubed tofu, grilled chicken, or shrimp for added protein.
  • Make it more filling: Serve it over steamed rice or with a side of crusty bread for an even heartier meal.
  • Herbal twist: Experiment with different herbs like basil or mint for a fresh flavor.

It’s all about what you enjoy – cooking should be a fun and creative process!

Serving Suggestions

Imagine ladling this beautiful soup into a wide, cozy bowl. I like to serve mine with a side of warm naan or jasmine rice to soak up all that delicious sauce. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro and green onions adds a burst of freshness on top.

Pair it with a light salad or a simple rosemary focaccia for an enchanting dinner experience. And if you really want to get cozy, how about a cup of herbal tea or a glass of white wine to sip while you savor each bite?

Storage Tips

Got leftovers? Lucky you! This soup stores really well. Here’s how to keep it fresh:

  • Refrigeration: Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It’ll keep in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the soup for up to 3 months, but I recommend freezing it without the dumplings. Just make the dumpling batter fresh when you thaw it! Store in a freezer-safe container or bag.
  • Reheating: To reheat, simply warm it on the stove over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water if it’s too thick. If you’ve frozen it, allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of milk instead of coconut milk?

Absolutely! If you’re not a fan of coconut or just don’t have it on hand, almond milk or even regular dairy milk will work just fine, though you’ll miss out on that rich coconut flavor.

Can I make this soup in advance?

Yes, you can! This soup actually tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Just store in the fridge and reheat when you’re ready to enjoy!

Can I add more vegetables?

Definitely! Feel free to add any veggies you love – zucchini, spinach, or broccoli would all be great additions!

What do I do if my dumplings are dense?

If your dumplings turn out dense, you might have mixed the batter too much. Remember, it’s all about gentle mixing – it should be just combined for that light and fluffy texture!
