A lovely vegetable broth with golden vegetables and bright green dumplings.
Somewhat sweet and full of vitamins.
Serving Size: 4
Ingredients:
for the pea dumplings
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fat (oil, lard or butter
- 1/2 cup frozen peas

- 1 vegetable bouillon cube
- 1 - 1.5 liter water
Directions:
- Using a big pot, bring the water, bouillon and cut up vegetables to a boil, and then turn the heat down to simmer.
- The vegetables should be sufficiently cooked in 15- 20 minutes.
- I do not puree this soup, but rather enjoy the clear consumer of vegetables with the nice pieces of vegetables.
- Meanwhile make the pea dumplings.
- Ten minutes before serving put the dumplings into the soup broth and cook.
- Serve a hearty bowl of soup to each person with 2 lovely floating dumplings.
Making the dumplings:
- Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl
- In a 2nd bow, combine, the peas, chopped scallion, mint leaves and margarine.
- Using a staff mixer or blender, puree these ingredients and add the soy milk to make a paste.
- Shortly before serving the soup, combine the wet pea mixture with the dry ingredients .
- Mix only enough to moisten.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot soup and cook for 10 minutes.
Note:
I saw the recipe for pea dumplings at the Brownie Points blog. This recipe was easy to adjust to be vegan and it is delicious!
