Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Creamy Thai Dumpling Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you plan to store the dumplings separately, keep them in a sealed container to prevent them from drying out.
Reheating: To reheat the soup, gently warm it in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through. If the dumplings were stored separately, add them to the soup for the last few minutes of heating to warm them up without overcooking.
Serving: Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional chopped cilantro and sliced bell peppers for added color and freshness. A squeeze of lime juice just before serving enhances the flavor.
Chef’s Tip: For a richer flavor, consider sautéing the garlic and ginger in a little oil before adding the broth. This step brings out their aromatic qualities and adds depth to the soup.
