Red Curry Dumpling Soup

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic (or 1 tsp ground)
  • 1 tbsp chopped ginger (or 1 tsp ground)
  • 2-4 tbsp red curry paste
  • 14 oz coconut cream
  • 1 tbsp sesame or olive oil
  • 2 tsp fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped lemongrass or paste
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cups diced mushroom
  • 1 lb frozen dumplings
  • Salt to taste


Sauté onion in oil until beginning to soften; add garlic. After 1 minute, add mushrooms. When mushrooms are softened a little, add pastes and other seasonings and stir until fragrant. Add liquids and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer for 3-5 minutes, then gently drop in dumplings. Simmer until dumplings are hot, careful not to overcook.

This started with a recipe on Pinterest but I changed a great deal (shocking, I know).
