Use a large pot over medium high heat. Melt a tablespoon of vegan butter. Saute the onions and carrots in the butter for about five minutes.
Then add the spices (poultry season, sage, cumin, bay leaf) and stir to combine with the onions and carrots.
Once the spices are toasted add six cups of water. Add four teaspoons of Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base to the water.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
While the soup is simmering make the dough for the dumplings. Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) together then using your hands or a fork mix in a tablespoon of vegan butter and 1/2 cup of plant based milk. Work the dough to incorporate all ingredients. Dough will be dry.
Simmer the soup until vegetables are tender. Remove the bay leaf. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough into the soup. Cover and cook until the dumplings puff up and cook through, about 15 to 20 minutes
