Ingredients:

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1 bag frozen vegan dumplings
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp avocado oil
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 4 scallions
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup chopped cremini mushrooms
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 tbsp red Thai curry paste

• 1 tbsp crunchy garlic

Directions:

1. Warm avocado oil in a heavy-bottom pot over medium-low heat.
2. Add the diced onion, the white parts of the scallions (finely chopped), and minced garlic. Sprinkle in the salt and cook until the onions soften and caramelize.
3. Stir in the chopped cremini mushrooms and sauté until tender. Let any moisture evaporate.
4. Mix in the red Thai curry paste, sugar, and soy sauce. Sauté for about one minute to toast the paste and dissolve everything beautifully.
5. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
6. Stir in the coconut milk until fully combined and raise the heat back to a gentle simmer.
7. Toss in the bag of frozen vegan dumplings directly into the simmering soup and cook for about 7 minutes until heated through.
8. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with chili oil, sliced scallion greens, chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of crunchy garlic for extra zing!

How to Make Coconut Curry Soup Dumplings (Overview)

To whip up this flavor-packed goodness, start by warming that avocado oil, which sets the stage for those aromatic vegetables.

After you’ve got a tasty base, mix in that red Thai curry paste; the smell will have your neighbors knocking at your door. Then comes the broth and coconut milk, followed by the dumplings for a delightful finish. Seriously, don’t skip toasting the garlic—it makes all the difference!

How to Serve Coconut Curry Soup Dumplings

Serve these delicious dumplings steaming hot, straight from the pot! The vibrant colors of the soup, the green of the scallions, and the crunch of garlic add so much visual appeal. Pair them with a fresh Asian salad for a textural contrast or crispy spring rolls to take your meal to the next level. The spicy aroma will have everyone swooning! 😍

How to Store Coconut Curry Soup Dumplings

Leftovers? No problem! This delightful dish keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze the soup without the dumplings (they tend to get mushy). You can keep it frozen for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to eat, just reheat in a pot on the stove until hot, and toss in fresh dumplings!

Tips to Make Coconut Curry Soup Dumplings

• Customize the spice: If you can handle the heat, throw in more chili oil or even some diced jalapeños!
• Swap proteins: Feel free to add some cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra heartiness.
• Add veggies: Toss in some baby spinach or kale at the end for a pop of color and nutrients.
• Make it creamy: If you want a richer soup, add a little more coconut milk to suit your taste buds.

Variation

Craving something a little different? Switch up the curry flavor by using green or yellow curry paste instead of red; it all depends on your taste! You can also try adding a squirt of lime for a zesty twist that brightens up the soup.
