Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 sweet potato, scrubbed and chopped into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable stock

Main Ingredient

  • 1 (13-ounce) package potstickers (vegetarian or meat-filled)

Greens and Garnish

  • 2 heaping cups fresh spinach
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Liquids: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable stock, whisking to combine thoroughly for a smooth broth base.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
