- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion, red bell pepper, and sweet potato, cooking for 3–4 minutes while stirring occasionally until the vegetables soften.
 
- Build the Broth: Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, enhancing the soup’s aroma and depth of flavor.
 
- Add Liquids: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable stock, whisking to combine thoroughly for a smooth broth base.
 
- Cook the Potstickers: Bring the mixture to a boil. Add the potstickers to the pot, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 6–8 minutes until the soup thickens slightly and the potstickers are fully cooked.
 
- Add Spinach and Lime: Stir in fresh spinach and lime juice, cooking for an additional 1–2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the soup has a refreshing tang.
 
- Garnish and Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful, nourishing Thai-inspired dish!
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- You can substitute potstickers with dumplings of your choice, either vegetarian or meat-based.
 
- Adjust the amount of red curry paste according to your preferred spice level.
 
- For a lighter version, use light coconut milk or reduce the amount slightly.
 
- This soup can be prepared in advance; simply add the spinach just before serving.
 
- Leftovers reheat well on the stove or microwave, but potstickers may become softer over time.
