Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (like vegetable or canola)
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional for authentic flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1215 pre-made dumplings (frozen or refrigerated, your choice of filling)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Red chili slices (optional, for extra heat)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Thai red curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth, coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add the mushrooms, carrots, and spinach. Let them cook in the simmering broth for 5-7 minutes until tender.
  4. Carefully place the dumplings into the soup. Cook according to package instructions (typically 5-8 minutes). Stir gently to avoid breaking them.
  5. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more soy sauce or a squeeze of lime juice for extra brightness.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, chili slices, and lime wedges. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For a lower-calorie option, use light coconut milk. Adjust spice level by adding more or less curry paste. Avoid boiling the soup to keep dumplings intact and coconut milk from separating.
