Thai Curry Lentil Dumpling Soup

I love an easy one pot dumpling soup, perfect for fridge clean out days when you need to use up vegetables but this one also has lentils that helps make it feel more like a complete and filling meal.

Servings: 3

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp oil

• ½ onion, finely chopped

• 2 tsp minced ginger

• 2 tsp minced garlic

• 1 carrot, peeled and sliced

• 1 bell pepper, sliced

• 1 jalapeno, sliced

• 2-3 tbsp red curry paste (depending on how spicy you want it)

• ½ cup red masoor daal/lentils

• 3 cups vegetable broth (or 2 cups water + 2 tsp vegetable bouillon paste)

• 1 cup coconut milk (I like using lite coconut milk

• 10-12 vegetarian dumplings or wontons

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

1. Heat a pot on medium heat and add oil

2. Add onion, ginger and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes

3. Add vegetables and curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes

4. Add 2 cups of vegetable broth and red masoor

5. Cover slightly and let cook for 20 minutes on simmer

6. Remove the lid and add lemon juice, coconut milk and 1 more cup of broth 

7. Add dumplings and let cook for 3-4 minutes until wrapper is cooked through

8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes:

You can add any other vegetables you’d like such as mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, eggplant, etc. If you add a lot more vegetables consider adding more broth and coconut milk so that it still has a soupy consistency.

I like the Maesri brand red curry paste since it’s vegan. It is pretty spicy so for a medium spice level add 2 tbsp and for spicy add 3 tbsp.

I buy vegetable dumplings from H mart but this would go well with my vegan wontons as well.
