Ingredients
  

Soup
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger finely minced
  • 4 tbsp red curry paste
  • 14 fl oz coconut milk full-fat for creaminess
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 whole lime juiced
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemongrass chopped, optional
  • ½ medium onion diced

Garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the garlic, ginger, and lemongrass (if using). Cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, then add sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the frozen dumplings and simmer according to package instructions, usually 5–7 minutes, until cooked through.
  6. Stir in the spinach, green onions, and cilantro. Cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and finish with your favorite garnishes before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth, vegetable dumplings, and substitute soy sauce for fish sauce. Adjust curry paste to taste depending on your spice tolerance.
