Ingredients
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 28 oz canned diced tomatoes
– 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– For the dumplings:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons butter, cold and cubed
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
1. – In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent.
2. – Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. – Add the diced tomatoes, broth, oregano, and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes.
4. – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cheddar cheese and parsley.
5. – Add the milk and stir just until a sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
6. – Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the simmering soup. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
7. – Serve the tomato soup warm, with the cheesy herbed dumplings on top.
Notes
– For a thicker soup, use less broth or let it simmer for longer.
– Try using different types of cheese in the dumplings, such as Parmesan or Gruyère.
– Garnish with additional fresh herbs, such as basil or chives, for extra flavor.
