  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 white or yellow onion, diced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into bite-size pieces
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced into bite-size pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated or minced fresh ginger
  • 1-2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste, to taste
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 (1-pound) bag frozen potstickers
  • 1 (15-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 large handfuls fresh baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Garnishes

  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, sliced red bell pepper, and sliced carrots. Sauté for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are nearly tender. Add the minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, and Thai red curry paste, then continue to sauté for 3 more minutes, stirring frequently to develop the flavors.
  2. Simmer Broth: Pour in the chicken stock and stir well to combine all ingredients. Increase the heat and bring the soup to a boil, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  3. Cook Potstickers and Add Coconut Milk: Add the frozen potstickers directly into the boiling soup and stir to distribute. Pour in the full-fat coconut milk, add fresh baby spinach, and stir gently until the spinach wilts and the potstickers are cooked through and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Season to Taste: Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more red curry paste for heat, salt, pepper, or lime juice to balance the flavors according to your preference.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra citrusy kick. Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, comforting Thai delicacy.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of Thai red curry paste according to your preferred spice level.
  • You can substitute chicken stock with vegetable stock for a vegetarian version, but use vegetarian potstickers to keep it fully vegetarian.
  • For a lighter soup, use light coconut milk instead of full-fat.
  • If fresh spinach isn’t available, baby kale or other leafy greens can be substituted.
  • This soup is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated within 2 days.
  • For extra protein, add cooked shredded chicken or tofu before serving.
