Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the red curry paste and curry powder, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and release their aromas.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and full-fat coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the broccoli florets and diced red bell pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Carefully add the frozen dumplings to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, usually 5-8 minutes, until they float and are cooked through.
- Stir in the frozen peas, soy sauce, brown sugar (or maple syrup), and fresh lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle hot soup into bowls. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
