Ingredient Notes:
Dumplings: These dumplings are really easy to make and made with simple ingredients you’ll have in your pantries such as flour and baking powder

How to make vegetable soup with dumplings:
Step One: Start by making the dough. Combine your flour, baking powder, sea salt and herbs. Create a well in the centre of your flour mixture and pour oil and warm water into the middle. Using a spatula fold together until sticky and well combined. It will be wet and sticky but this is what you’re looking for. Form into a ball and place a tea towel on top and let it rest while you make your soup.
Step Two: To a large pot add your olive oil and heat on medium heat for 1 minute before adding onions. Cook the onions for 7-8 minutes or until translucent. To the pot add your carrots, celery and green onion. Cook them for 7-8 minutes while stirring often to avoid burning. Scrape any brown bits that develop at the base of the pot with a wooden spoon.
Step Three: To the pot, add your vegan butter and let it melt. Add your flour and stir till everything is coated. Now season with salt and pepper and add your fresh thyme. Give everything one more stir to ensure everything is well coated with flour. Increase heat to high and add 1 tbsp. of vegetable stock paste + 1 1/2 cups of boiling water to the pot. Stir and scrape any loose bits from the bottom of the pan. Once your water has almost reduced and the rest of the water and bring soup to a boil. Cook till the vegetables are tender.
Step Four: Grab your dough mixture and using a tbsp. begin scooping little balls and dropping them into the soup. It’s not an overly fancy or particular process, just make sure you’re using a tbsp. Cook for around 5 minutes before removing from heat.
Serving: Serve with fresh dill and your favorite vegan sour cream!
FAQ & Expert Tips:
