I *love* this soup and YES the recipe includes these awesome little herb dumplings! I miss my Grandpa's vegie garden and how we would through all the fresh vegies from garden to pot. Very full flavored and do *not* be stingy on adding LOTS of vegies. Read more I give a basic measurement but feel free to add lib and put in more or extra. See less

How to make it
- Summer Garden Vegetable Soup:
- Saute onion, carrot, and celery in oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften.
- Deglaze with wine; simmer until nearly evaporated. Stir in broth, potatoes, cauliflower, zucchini, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, corn, beans, salt and pepper. Return to a boil and cook 5 more minutes.
- Herb Dumplings:
- After adding the last part of vegies to the soup, start making the dumplings.
- Whisk flour, Parmesan, baking powder, sugar, salt and pepper together in a bowl; stir in the herbs. Melt butter in the milk in a saucepan over medium heat, then blend into dry ingredients; stir just until moistened. Shape dough into balls the size of a ping pong ball. I use a melon ball scoop to make these with. When the above soup is in the last stage of cooking and you have dropped the heat to a simmer, add the dumpling balls to the top of the soup, cover, and gently simmer 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

To me, homemade veggie soup is COMFORT food, especially when the veggies are home grown and freshly picked.
This sure gets a HIGH FIVE from this old bat in the Muskoka district! :+D
