Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (14 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  • Sauté the Aromatics. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the Veggies and Curry Paste. Add the chopped red bell pepper to the pot and cook for about 3 minutes, until slightly softened. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Simmer the Soup Base. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to deepen.
  • Make the Dumplings. While the soup is simmering, prepare the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are okay!
  • Drop the Dumplings. Increase the heat of the soup to a gentle simmer. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and fluffy.
  • Finish and Serve. Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and chopped spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
