Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- For the dumplings:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the red curry paste and curry powder, cooking for another minute to enhance the flavors.
- Add the coconut milk, vegetable broth, sweet potato, and carrots to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
- While the soup is simmering, prepare the dumplings: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and parsley.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg. Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering soup, covering the pot with a lid. Let the dumplings steam for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through.
- Once the dumplings are done, stir in the peas, soy sauce, and lime juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- For a spicier soup, add more red curry paste or chili flakes.
- Use gluten-free flour to make the dumplings gluten-free.
- Make the soup ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat before adding the dumplings.
- Vegetables can be customized; try adding bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach.
