No Chicken Dumpling Soup

Feeling a bit under the weather this week so wanted to make some comfort food. This no chicken dumpling soup is a thick and hardy. This is always a hit but especially in the winter when you want a warming meal.

For the no chicken soup you need:

• 1 white onion chopped
• One and a half cups chopped carrots
• 1 celery stick cut in half
• A bay leaf
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• 1 Tbsp liquid amino
• salt and peper to taste
• 2 cups water
• 4 cups no chicken broth (Better than Bouillon No Chicken Base works great)

For the Dumplings:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 2 tea spoons baking powder
• 1/2 tea spoon salt
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup milk

Saute the onions until translucent. Then add garlic and carrots, and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Add the broth and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer adding celery, bay leaf, poultry seasoning, cumin, liquid amino, salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Meanwhile mix all of the ingredients for the dumplings together to form a dough. Remove bay leaf and the celery stick halves. Drop spoonfuls of dough into the soup and cook for another 20 minutes.
