Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil Cooking fat that adds richness; substitute with olive oil if needed.

  • 4 Scallions, chopped Provides a fresh, mild onion flavor; use chives as an alternative.
  • 1 tbsp Garlic, minced Enhances aroma and taste; fresh ginger could replace it for a different profile.

  • 3 cups Vegetable Broth Base liquid that adds depth; use chicken broth for a non-vegan version.
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk, full-fat Gives creaminess and richness; low-fat coconut milk works for fewer calories.
  • 1 tbsp Red Thai Curry Paste Provides spice and flavor; ensure it's vegan-friendly if needed.

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 cup of diced onion along with the white parts of 4 chopped scallions and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Sauté these aromatics for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and caramelized, releasing a sweet and fragrant aroma.
  2. Next, stir in ½ cup of chopped cremini mushrooms. Continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to become tender and slightly browned.
  3. Once the vegetables are ready, add 1 tablespoon of red Thai curry paste, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce to the pot. Sauté for about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in 3 cups of vegetable broth, stirring to combine thoroughly. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then add 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk.
  5. Gently drop the frozen vegan dumplings into the simmering soup, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Let them cook for about 7 minutes.
  6. Ladle the piping hot soup into bowls, garnish with chili oil, the green parts of the scallions, fresh cilantro, and crunchy garlic.
