Ingredients

Scale

Spices and Broth

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Dumplings

  • Dumplings made from dough or pre-made wrappers filled with savory meat, vegetables, or plant-based fillings (approx. 20-30 dumplings)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1 cup leafy greens (spinach, kale, or similar)

Fresh Herbs and Garnishes

  • Fresh cilantro, basil, or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: fresh chilies, lime wedges, toasted sesame seeds, coconut cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Curry Broth: Sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic in a bit of oil over medium heat until translucent and fragrant. Stir in the curry powder and lightly toast for 1-2 minutes to release the spices’ aroma. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and the coconut milk, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, letting the flavors meld together.
  2. Make the Dumplings: Prepare your dumpling dough or fillings if using pre-made wrappers. Shape the dumplings into bite-sized pieces suitable for even cooking in the soup.
  3. Add Vegetables: Add the chopped carrots, bell peppers, and leafy greens to the simmering curry broth. Allow them to cook until just tender but still vibrant in color.
  4. Cook the Dumplings: Gently add the dumplings into the simmering curry broth. Cook them for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender and cooked through, absorbing some of the flavorful soup.
  5. Final Touches: Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs such as cilantro or green onions into the soup. Adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional curry powder if desired. Serve the soup hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Balance your spices by starting with mild curry powder and adjust gradually to avoid overpowering the dumplings.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pot; cook dumplings in batches as needed to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving to maintain their vibrant flavor and color.
  • Keep the soup at a low simmer to allow dumplings to cook slowly without breaking apart.
  • Test one dumpling after cooking to make sure it is perfectly tender before serving.
