Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 6 cups vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt (for dumplings)
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 2

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the butternut squash, potatoes, vegetable stock, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

While the soup simmers, prepare the dumpling dough. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.

Step 6

Gradually stir in the milk and parsley until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Once the soup vegetables are tender, use a spoon to drop small spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the soup. Cover the pot and simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh parsley if desired.
