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, plus the lentils make it a filling and complete 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.
