TOM YUM DUMPLING SOUP

TOM YUM DUMPLING SOUP

A vibrant, comforting soup made with tender chicken dumplings, rice noodles, mushrooms, bok choy, and cherry tomatoes in a fragrant tom yum style broth with lemongrass, lime, ginger, and a touch of coconut milk.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 frozen or fresh chicken dumplings
  • 6 ounces dried rice noodles
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cups chopped bok choy
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, trimmed and bruised
  • 4 lime leaves
  • 1 tablespoon sliced fresh ginger
  • 2 small red chilies, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Thai chili paste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Place a large soup pot over medium heat and let it warm for about 1 minute.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, then add the lemongrass, lime leaves, ginger, red chili, fish sauce, Thai chili paste, and sugar. Stir well.
  3. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes to infuse the aromatics.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms, bok choy, cherry tomatoes, rice noodles, and chicken dumplings. Gently stir so the noodles separate.
  5. Simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through, the noodles are tender, and the vegetables are just softened.
  6. Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice, cilantro, and green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Ladle into bowls and serve hot, making sure each bowl gets dumplings, noodles, vegetables, and broth.

Notes

  • For the brightest flavor, add the lime juice after removing the soup from the heat.
  • If you want firmer noodles for leftovers, cook the noodles separately and add them to each bowl before serving.
  • Shiitake, cremini, or oyster mushrooms all work well in this soup.
  • The broth base can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
