Ingredients:

1 tsp soy sauce
1 bag frozen vegan dumplings
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp avocado oil
3 cups vegetable broth
4 scallions
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup chopped cremini mushrooms
1 cup diced onion
1 tbsp red Thai curry paste
2 to 3 tsp chili oil
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 tbsp sliced scallion greens
1 tbsp crunchy garlic

Directions:

Warm avocado oil in a heavy-bottom pot over medium-low heat.
Add the diced onion, the white parts of the scallions (finely chopped), and minced garlic. Sprinkle in the salt and cook until the onions soften and caramelize.
Stir in the chopped cremini mushrooms and sauté until tender. Let any moisture evaporate.
Mix in the red Thai curry paste, sugar, and soy sauce. Sauté for about one minute to toast the paste and dissolve everything beautifully.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the coconut milk until fully combined and raise the heat back to a gentle simmer.
Toss in the bag of frozen vegan dumplings directly into the simmering soup and cook for about 7 minutes until heated through.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with chili oil, sliced scallion greens, chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of crunchy garlic for extra zing!
