Instructions
Make the dumplings first
- Combine flour, salt, pepper, baking powder and spices in a large bowl.
- Make a small well in the center of the dry mixture and add the oil. Mix until combined. The dough will still be quite dry.
- Add warm water a few splashes at a time until a slightly sticky but cohesive dough has formed.
- Cover with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest while up to 15 minutes while prepping the soup.
Making the Soup
- While the dumpling dough rests, wash, peel and chop the carrots, onion and celery.
- Toss the veggies into the bottom of a large stock pot and sauté in olive oil for about 5 minutes or until they begin to soften.
- Add in the stock (or water) remaining spices, and the bay leaves and bring to a boil.
- Allow to boil for 10 minutes until veggies are tender.
- Keep at a rolling boil and scoop approximately 1 Tbsp sized portions of the dumpling dough into the boiling water until no dough remains.
- Once all dumplings are in the soup, keep at a low boil for 10 more minutes. The dumplings will rise to the top.
- Remove from heat and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- Not Vegan? Use chicken broth, add in some shredded rotisserie chicken, or use an egg instead of oil in the dumplings.
- Gluten-Free? Use gluten-free flour to make the dumplings.
