Description
A quick and cozy Thai-inspired soup made with dumplings simmered in a fragrant coconut broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral cooking oil
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 stalk lemongrass (trimmed and lightly smashed)
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 400 ml 1 can coconut milk
- 500 ml 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or fish sauce

- 12 frozen dumplings or potstickers (vegetable, chicken, or pork)
- 3 spring onions (green onions, thinly sliced)
- Fresh coriander (cilantro, to serve)
- Lime wedges (to serve)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the curry paste and lemongrass, cooking for 1 minute to release the flavors.
- Pour in the coconut milk and stock. Stir in soy sauce or fish sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Drop the dumplings straight into the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions (usually 6–8 minutes if frozen).
