Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 4 scallions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cremini mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon red Thai curry paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 bag frozen vegan dumplings (12–15 pieces)
- For Garnish:
- 2–3 teaspoons chili oil
- 1 tablespoon scallion greens
- 1 tablespoon crispy garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Begin your culinary adventure by heating the avocado oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. As the oil shimmers, add the finely chopped onion, the white parts of the scallions, minced garlic, and salt. Sauté gently until the onions soften—this step creates a sweet, aromatic base for your soup.
- Once your onion mixture is fragrant and translucent, it’s time to elevate the flavor by adding the finely chopped cremini mushrooms. Stir them into the pot and cook for a few minutes until they soften, releasing their earthy notes into the mixture, which is vital for depth of flavor in the soup.
- Next, add the red Thai curry paste, sugar, and soy sauce to your pot. Sauté the mixture for a couple of minutes until the curry paste becomes fragrant, turning a bright color and melding beautifully with the sautéed vegetables. This step is essential, as cooking the paste helps to release its essential oils and full flavor profile.
- Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring gently to combine everything. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer—this will allow all the flavors to intermingle and develop further. Let it bubble lightly for a few minutes, ensuring your kitchen fills with the enticing aroma.
- Now, it’s the moment when your soup transforms into a creamy delight! Stir in the coconut milk, which adds a rich texture and sweetness that balances the spice of the curry. Allow the soup to return to a simmer for a few minutes, letting the flavors fuse together.
- Finally, introduce those delightful frozen vegan dumplings into the pot. Ensure they are evenly submerged in the soup and gently simmer for about 7 minutes, or until they are fully cooked. This crucial step results in beautifully soft dumplings nestled in your aromatic broth.
Notes
Always taste the soup before serving; adjust seasoning if needed, perhaps a touch more soy sauce or a sprinkle of salt.
