Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium sweet potato, scrubbed and chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 can (14 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable stock

Main Components

  • 1 package (13 ounces) potstickers, vegetarian or meat-filled
  • 2 heaping cups fresh spinach
  • Juice of 1 lime

Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, diced onion, red bell pepper, and chopped sweet potato. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Add Curry Paste: Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, allowing the spices to release their aroma.
  3. Add Liquids: Pour in the unsweetened coconut milk and vegetable stock while whisking to create a smooth soup base.
  4. Cook Potstickers: Bring the soup to a boil. Add the potstickers, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 6–8 minutes until the soup thickens slightly and the potstickers are heated through.
  5. Add Spinach and Lime: Stir in the fresh spinach and lime juice, cooking for 1–2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and slightly tender.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use homemade vegetable stock for richer flavor if available.
  • Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of red curry paste to your preference.
  • Double-check all ingredients for potential allergens if serving to sensitive eaters.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure potstickers are gluten-free or substitute with gluten-free dumplings.
