On the menu tonight, Thai Coconut Curry Potsticker Soup!
I’ve made this a few times and it’s always a hit. This is similar to the other coconut curry soups that I’ve made, but this one has potstickers, which makes it an even easier soup to make because you aren’t cooking and de-boning chicken.
Some curries can be pretty spicy. This version doesn’t have a lot of spicy heat, but you could definitely add some Thai chilies, serrano peppers, fresno chili oil, or fresno chili peppers to this to add some heat.
Once you make this, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been making this part your regular meal rotation. Play around with the brand of red curry paste and try different varieties.
For the garnish, you can’t go wrong with some lime wedges or chopped scallions.
The next time you make a pot of soup, I hope you will try this recipe and let me know how it turns out.
