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.
