Why is the dumpling dough so wet and sticky?

The recipe specifically calls for a wet and sticky dough, made with 1/2 cup warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, which helps create tender, fluffy dumplings when cooked in the soup.

How do I ensure the soup base is flavorful?

The soup base builds flavor by first sauteing onions, carrots, celery, and green onions, then creating a roux with vegan butter and flour, and finally simmering with vegetable stock paste and fresh thyme.

Can I make the soup thicker?

Yes, the recipe uses 1 tablespoon of vegan butter and a heaped tablespoon of all-purpose flour to create a roux, which naturally thickens the soup as it simmers with the vegetable stock and water.

What are the best serving suggestions for this soup?

The recipe suggests serving this vegetable soup with vegan dumplings alongside fresh dill and your favorite vegan sour cream for an added layer of flavor and creaminess.

Can I prepare the dumpling dough ahead of time?

The recipe instructs to make the dough first and let it rest while preparing the soup, suggesting it's best made fresh. It's designed to be dropped into the hot soup immediately after forming.

How to Prepare Vegetable Soup with Vegan Dumplings [Vegan]

Start by making the dough. Combine your flour, baking powder, sea salt and herbs. Create a well in the center 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.
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.
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 and 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.
Grab your dough mixture and using a tablespoon 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.
Serve with fresh dill and your favorite vegan sour cream!
