Ingredients

Scale

Sauté Base

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 onion, diced

Aromatics & Curry

  • 4 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped ginger (paste or approximately a 1-inch piece)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped lemongrass or paste (optional)

Liquids & Seasoning

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 14 ounces coconut milk from a can
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sugar

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound frozen dumplings (such as potstickers or wontons)
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 lime

Garnishes (optional)

  • Diagonally sliced green onions
  • Minced cilantro leaves
  • Chopped Thai basil
  • Fried onions
  • Chile oil or chili crisp

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Onions: Heat the oil over medium heat in a 4 to 5 quart soup pot or Dutch oven until shimmering. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until they soften and sweat.
  2. Incorporate Aromatics: Add the Thai red curry paste, chopped ginger, optional lemongrass, and finely chopped garlic to the pot. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and well combined with the onions.
  3. Add Liquids and Simmer: Increase heat to medium-high and pour in the chicken broth and canned coconut milk. Bring the soup to a low boil, then reduce heat to maintain an active simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Add Dumplings and Season: Stir in the fish sauce and sugar. Add the frozen dumplings to the simmering soup and cook according to the dumplings’ package instructions, usually a few minutes until heated through and cooked. Ensure they are fully warmed as most contain pre-cooked meat.
  5. Add Fresh Ingredients: Turn off the heat and stir in chopped spinach, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro. Let the soup sit briefly until the spinach wilts naturally. Squeeze the juice from half a lime into the soup, stir well, and adjust with more lime juice if desired.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with desired garnishes such as diagonally sliced green onions, minced cilantro, chopped Thai basil, fried onions, and a drizzle of chile oil or chili crisp. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version, but omit fish sauce or replace it with soy sauce for flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier soup, add extra Thai red curry paste or a dash of chile oil to the broth.
  • Frozen dumplings from the store are usually pre-cooked; always check the package to avoid undercooking.
  • The optional lemongrass adds a subtle citrus note but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop to avoid overcooking dumplings.
