• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 bay leaf
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.75 cup milk

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the dried thyme, dried oregano, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the soup is simmering, prepare the dumpling dough. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the milk and melted butter to the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined (do not over-mix).

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf from the pot. Stir in the frozen peas and chopped parsley.

Step 8

Drop tablespoons of the dumpling dough into the simmering soup, spacing them evenly over the surface. Cover the pot tightly with a lid.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid while the dumplings are cooking.

Step 10

Check that the dumplings are cooked through by cutting one in half. It should be fluffy and not doughy in the center.
