Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Mince your garlic and ginger, dice the onion, and slice your carrots and bell peppers. If using spinach or bok choy, have it ready to add at the end. Take your dumplings out of the freezer so they're ready to go when it's their turn.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Bloom the Curry Paste: Add the curry paste to the pot and stir it in with the aromatics, cooking for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Build the Soup Base: Pour in the beef broth and coconut milk, stirring until the curry paste is fully dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and let cook for about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the Vegetables: Toss in the sliced carrots and bell peppers, letting them simmer for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften but still have a bit of a bite.
- Cook the Dumplings: Carefully add the frozen dumplings to the soup, ensuring they are submerged. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or according to package directions, until cooked through.
- Season and Finish: Stir in the fish sauce (or soy sauce), lime juice, and brown sugar. Adjust seasonings as needed, then stir in the fresh spinach or bok choy to wilt for a minute or two.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced green onions. Add chili flakes for extra heat if desired.
