Reasons to love this Dumpling Soup
Hey friends, I wanted to share my amazing dumpling soup recipe with you all.
It’s not only delicious but also budget-friendly as it requires only a few basic ingredients that you might already have in your kitchen cupboard.
I have tried and tested this easy recipe multiple times to make sure that it’s easy to follow and yields a complex and delicious result with minimum effort. I am happy to say that the mission was accomplished and I can’t wait for you to try this wonderful recipe with the perfect dumplings.
Please take a moment to view my detailed step-by-step pictures that demonstrate how simple it is to create a hearty and delicious Dumpling Soup from simple ingredients. You will enjoy one of the best soups ever with a creamy broth without having to use heavy cream.
Aside from using them in the soup, the homemade dumplings can also be used as delectable biscuits – a delightful treat for any occasion.
For the broccoli, I decided to use small florets that were roasted to perfection to infuse an abundance of flavor and create a satisfying texture that will leave your taste buds yearning for more.
What you need for this Dumpling Soup Recipe
We make our own dumplings from scratch with the most amazing easy dumplings recipe. For that I use flour, baking powder (note: if you use self-rising flour, leave out baking powder), oat milk, and olive oil. This is a pretty solid and great foundation for dumplings.
Carrots, onions and garlic are essential flavor ingredients that also add a lot of texture.
Vegetable broth: this is the liquid that we cook our veggies and dumplings in.
I roast my broccoli while the soup is cooking. Believe it or not, it makes all the difference. It adds lots of flavor and a wonderful crunchy texture.
To make things a bit spicy, I use a small amount of chili flakes to really let all the ingredients and flavors shine. Of course, you can happily leave it out if you want to.
Seasonings: dried chives, dill and parsley. Chives and dill both go into the soup while cooking, and I sprinkle some fresh parsley on top. We also use some onions, or green onions, if you prefer them.
How to make Dumpling Soup
Prepare dumplings
In a medium-sized bowl combine, flour, baking powder, milk, 4 Tbs olive oil, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix with a spatula until you get a sticky dough. Form the flour mixture into a ball and cover it with a towel on top.
Make Soup
Heat 2 Tbs of olive oil in a large pot. Add onions, garlic, and carrots and cook them for around 3 minutes. Add in dill, chives and chili flakes. Next mix in the vegetable broth and bring to a cook. Reduce heat and let the base of the Dumpling Soup simmer.
Roasting broccoli
While the soup is simmering on medium heat, preheat oven to 410F.
In a small bowl mix broccoli florets with 1 Tbs olive oil and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a 9×13 inch baking dish and distribute broccoli evenly. Bake them for around 15 minutes.
Cook dumplings
With the help of two tablespoons take 1 inch bits of the dough and drop it into the soup. Repeat until all of the dough is used and cook the dumplings properly for around 10 minutes.
Finally, add in broccoli and sprinkle the Dumpling Soup with fresh parsley on top.
Tips and tricks
Leftovers are delicious for around 4 days when stored in an airtight container and can be heated up on the stove or microwave.
If you want to freeze the Dumpling Soup, let it first cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Use it for up to 3 months.
As herbs, you can also use thyme, rosemary, and sage instead of dill, chives, and parsley.
