Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 4 scallions, finely chopped (separate white and green parts)
  • ½ cup cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon red Thai curry paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Dumplings

  • 1 bag frozen vegan dumplings (about 1215 dumplings)

Garnishes

  • 23 teaspoons chili oil
  • 1 tablespoon scallions (green part)
  • 1 tablespoon crispy garlic
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and the white parts of the scallions. Sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes, to build a flavorful base.
  2. Cook Mushrooms and Garlic: Add the chopped cremini mushrooms and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
  3. Add Curry Paste and Salt: Stir in the red Thai curry paste and salt. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to bloom and intensify.
  4. Combine Liquids: Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, coconut milk, and sugar. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Cook Dumplings: Add the frozen vegan dumplings directly into the simmering soup. Cook according to package instructions, generally 7-10 minutes, until the dumplings are heated through and tender.
  6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or soy sauce if needed.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Drizzle with chili oil and garnish with the green parts of the scallions, crispy garlic, and chopped cilantro for extra flavor and texture.
  8. Enjoy: Serve the curry dumpling soup hot and savor the rich, comforting flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute vegan dumplings with homemade or store-bought ones of your choice.
  • Adjust the level of chili oil to your preferred spice tolerance.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the dumplings and soy sauce used are gluten-free.
  • The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid overcooking dumplings.
  • Add fresh lime juice or Thai basil as optional garnishes for extra brightness.
