Ingredients
Chickpea Soup
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
- 1 medium yellow onion diced, about 1 ½ cups
- 2 medium carrots peeled and cut into rounds
- 2 ribs celery diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup flour 30 g
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- ½ to 1 tsp salt start with ½ tsp and add more before serving if needed
- 4 cups vegetable broth 1 L
- 1 oz can chickpeas drained, 425 g
- 1 cup frozen peas 170 g
- 1 cup unsweetened unflavored vegan creamer you could also use evaporated milk (for non-vegan) or coconut milk, 236 mL
Vegan Dumplings
- 2 cups flour 240 g
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp poultry seasoning
- ¾ cup vegan creamer or milk I used the same unflavored vegan creamer as in the soup, but you could also use evaporated milk or buttermilk (for non-vegan), or a plant-based drinking milk, 170 mL
- ¼ cup olive oil 60 mL
Instructions
- Flavor Base: Heat oil in a large pot, then add diced onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute. Stir flour, poultry seasoning, and salt to evenly coat veggies.
- Soup: While stirring, slowly pour in the vegetable broth. Taste and add more salt if needed. Cover and bring to a gentle simmer while you prepare the dumplings.
- Dumplings: Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and poultry seasoning. Stir in vegan creamer or milk and oil, stirring just until dough comes together (do not over stir - this will result in tough dumplings).
- Assemble: Add chickpeas, frozen peas, and creamer to the soup. Bring back to a simmer, then drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough right into the soup.
- Cook: Put a lid on the soup and cook for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid while cooking - you want to build up the steam, which will cook the dumplings! After 15 minutes, check on dumplings (they should be firm, and a toothpick inserted should come out clean). Serve warm!
