Soup Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 large carrot, sliced
- 1 medium potato, cubed
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Dumpling Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Heat Oil and Sauté Onion: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Add Spices: Add the curry powder and turmeric to the pot, stirring to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger evenly.
- Add Liquids and Vegetables: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the sliced carrot and cubed potato.
- Simmer Vegetables: Let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Prepare Dumpling Dough: While the soup simmers, prepare the dumplings by mixing the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Slowly add the water to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Shape Dumplings: Once the dough has come together, use your hands to shape it into small dumplings, about 1-inch in diameter.
- Cook Dumplings in Soup: Once the vegetables are tender, gently drop the dumplings into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 10 minutes, or until they float to the top.
- Add Final Ingredients: Stir in the chopped spinach, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
- Adjust Seasoning and Garnish: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Garnish the soup with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour in the dumplings.
