Ingredients

• 2 medium, diced carrots
• 2 diced celery stalks
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 medium, peeled and diced potatoes
• 1 cup, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces green beans
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1.5 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup (for dumplings) all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons (for dumplings) salt
• 0.5 cups (for dumplings) milk
• 2 tablespoons, melted (for dumplings) butter

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the Vegetables: Dice the carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes. Trim and cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 5 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 3

Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth and milk, making sure to break up any lumps of flour. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Add the potatoes, green beans, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Cover and let the vegetables simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

Step 6

While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the dumpling batter. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and melted butter, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Once the vegetables are tender and the broth has slightly thickened, reduce the heat to low. Use a spoon to drop 1-2 tablespoon-sized portions of the dumpling batter onto the surface of the simmering liquid. Avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are puffy and cooked through. Do not lift the lid while the dumplings cook.

Step 9

Serve hot, scooping the vegetables, creamy broth, and dumplings into bowls. Enjoy!
