Thai Curry Soup (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup spinach, chopped.
02 - 1 tablespoon minced lemongrass (if you'd like).
03 - 14 ounces coconut milk (canned).
04 - 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped.
05 - 1 lime, for juice.
06 - 2 teaspoons sugar.
07 - 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped.
08 - 2 green onions, sliced into thin pieces.
09 - 1 pound frozen dumplings.
10 - 4 tablespoons Thai red curry paste.
11 - 3 cups broth (chicken).
12 - 1/2 onion, chopped into small cubes.
13 - 2 teaspoons fish sauce.
14 - 1 tablespoon minced ginger.
15 - 1 tablespoon avocado or extra virgin olive oil.

# Instructions:

01 - In a soup pot, warm the oil on medium. Toss in the onions and let them soften for about 5 minutes.
02 - Mix in the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and curry paste. Stir and let the mix cook for 1-2 minutes until you can smell everything blending nicely.
03 - Combine the broth and coconut milk, bringing it all up to a slight boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer gently.
04 - Stir in the fish sauce and sugar, followed by the dumplings. Let them warm up completely while cooking in the broth.
05 - Once the heat's off, add spinach, cilantro, and green onions. Wait until the spinach softens, then squeeze in lime juice to your liking.
06 - Spoon the soup into bowls and add any garnishes you'd like before enjoying.

# Notes:

01 - Frying dumplings beforehand gives them a delicious crispiness.
02 - Adjust the curry paste amount to make it spicier or milder.
