Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 cups vegetable broth
• 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, thyme, sage, and bay leaf. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the drained chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer, covered, while you prepare the dumplings.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the plant-based milk and remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Stir until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes, or until they are firm and cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf from the soup and discard. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
