A heartwarming and flavorful curry dumpling soup that blends spiced broth with tender, pillowy dumplings, creating a perfect balance of comfort and adventure.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

- Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the curry powder and turmeric, stirring for about 30 seconds to toast the spices.
- Pour in the broth and coconut milk, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Once simmering, add the chopped vegetables and season with salt and pepper.
- Drop the dumplings into the soup, ensuring they have space to cook through.
- Let everything simmer until the dumplings are cooked (about 10-12 minutes) and the vegetables are tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, then ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
Notes

- Total time: About 40 minutes (15 minutes prep, 25 minutes cook).
- For a protein boost, consider adding chickpeas or shredded chicken.
- If you want extra heat, include chili flakes, fresh chilis, or cayenne.
- Vary vegetables based on what’s in season—sweet potatoes, spinach, peas all work great.
- For a coconut-free version, replace coconut milk with heavy cream or plain yogurt.
- If storing leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm gently over medium-low heat and add broth or water if needed.
- Consider adding dumplings just before serving if making ahead to avoid sogginess.
