06 - 1/2 cup chopped cremini mushrooms
07 - 1 tablespoon red Thai curry paste
08 - 1 teaspoon sugar

11 - 1 cup full-fat coconut milk

→ For Serving and Garnish

13 - 2 to 3 teaspoons chili oil
14 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
15 - 1 tablespoon sliced scallion greens
16 - 1 tablespoon crunchy garlic

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Heat avocado oil in a heavy-bottom pot over medium-low heat. Add diced onion, white parts of the scallions, minced garlic, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and begin to caramelize to develop sweetness.
02 - Add chopped cremini mushrooms to the pot and sauté until tender and moisture has mostly evaporated.
03 - Stir in red Thai curry paste, sugar, and soy sauce. Sauté for about one minute to toast the paste and dissolve seasonings.
04 - Pour in vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
05 - Stir in full-fat coconut milk until fully combined and bring back to a gentle simmer.
06 - Add frozen vegan dumplings directly into the simmering soup. Cook over medium-low heat for approximately 7 minutes, until dumplings are thawed and heated through.
07 - Ladle soup with dumplings into bowls. Garnish each serving with chili oil, sliced scallion greens, chopped cilantro, and crunchy garlic for enhanced flavor and texture.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Allow onions to caramelize slowly to enhance the base's natural sweetness.
02 - Using full-fat coconut milk enriches the soup’s flavor and texture.
