Print Recipe

A cozy, comforting recipe featuring smooth tomato soup paired with fluffy cheddar bay dumplings for a heartwarming meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 medium Carrot, chopped
  • 1 (28 oz) can Canned Whole Tomatoes
  • 4 cups Vegetable or Chicken Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Dried Parsley
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup Whole Milk

Instructions

  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent — about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and carrot; stir for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Next, add the canned tomatoes (with their juices) to the pot. Break them up with a spoon and add in the broth and dried basil. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer for about 20 minutes.
  4. After 20 minutes, blend the soup until smooth to your desired creaminess and return it to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  5. While the soup simmers, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a medium bowl.
  6. In another bowl, combine the shredded cheese and milk, then fold this mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the surface of the soup and cover the pot with a lid. Steam the dumplings for about 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
  8. Serve the soup in bowls topped with dumplings and garnish as desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or skip it for a vegan option using cashew cream and plant-based milk.
