  • 3 T. unsalted butter

  • Soup

Directions
  1. Summer Garden Vegetable Soup:
  2. Saute onion, carrot, and celery in oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. 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.
  4. Add tomatoes, corn, beans, salt and pepper. Return to a boil and cook 5 more minutes.
  5. Herb Dumplings:
  6. After adding the last part of vegies to the soup, start making the dumplings.
  7. 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.

Sounds so healthy and good for diet also


Sounds great. I'm making a lentil soup right now! My son would love the dumplings. He is a carboholic!

I have this saved for our next soup day.

Im a soup and cornbread person....this sounds wonderful for this fall..


This sound absolutely wonderful. Thank you for posting!


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


Sounds delish,will make it soon!
