  • Ingredients:
  • For the  Soup:
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) white beans (such as cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • For the Dumplings:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond or soy)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    Instructions:
  • Sauté Vegetables: In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the vegetable broth, drained white beans, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Make Dumpling Dough: While the soup is simmering, prepare the dumplings. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the plant-based milk and chopped parsley, stirring until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  • Drop Dumplings: Once the vegetables in the soup are tender, remove the bay leaves. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the surface of the simmering soup. Cover and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through. They will puff up and become firm.
  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure to include some dumplings in each serving. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
