Chicken dumpling soup with turmeric and coconut is a simple, soulful recipe. This soup is light, silky with the goodness of coconut and turmeric. Turmeric has medicinal properties, and it lends a beautiful golden color to the soup.
The dumplings and bok choy make it filling. I added the noodles because I fell short of dumplings; you can skip them altogether. I feel it is a beautifully balanced soup with the right amount of heat and freshness. With winter approaching, we do need a few easy soup recipes. I did look for fresh dumplings but settled for the frozen ones. You can make them from scratch, but this works for me for now. While making this, all I could think of was the dumpling soup served in tiny momo stalls on the streets in Assam. It is more like a watery, peppery broth with bits of chicken. It comes as a side with the momos. I used to look forward to this. My soup is inspired by it, but I added my tiny twist. I hope you do give this recipe a try.
