Ingredients
For the Soup:
-
1 tablespoon coconut oil
-
1 small onion, finely diced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
-
2 tablespoons yellow curry paste (or red for extra spice!)
-
4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
-
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
1 teaspoon brown sugar
-
2 carrots, thinly sliced
-
1 cup snap peas
-
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
-
Juice of 1 lime
-
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
For the Dumplings:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¾ cup water
-
Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or cilantro (for extra flavor in the dumplings)
Instructions
-
In a large pot, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and translucent.
-
Stir in curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to bring out the flavors.
-
Pour in vegetable broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer.
-
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and water to form a sticky dough.
-
Add carrots, mushrooms, and snap peas to the simmering broth. Cook for 5 minutes until slightly tender.
-
Using a spoon, drop small scoops of the dumpling dough into the pot. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes without lifting the lid — the dumplings will puff up beautifully!
-
Finish by stirring in lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
-
Ladle into bowls, top with fresh cilantro, and enjoy!
Notes
-
Swap in tofu, shredded chicken, or chickpeas if you want to bulk up the protein.
-
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour for the dumplings and tamari instead of soy sauce.
-
Red curry paste = spicier broth; yellow curry paste = milder broth.
-
Leftover soup keeps beautifully in the fridge for up to 3 days (though dumplings are best fresh!).
