Notes

  • Red curry paste provides balanced spice and aroma, but green curry paste can be used for a different flavor.
  • Use vegetable broth and vegetable dumplings to make this recipe vegetarian.
  • Shredded chicken or tofu can be added for extra protein.
  • Additional vegetables like carrots, bok choy, or bell peppers work well in this soup.
  • If storing leftovers, consider keeping dumplings separate so they remain firm.
  • If the soup thickens after refrigeration, add a splash of broth or water when reheating.
