Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped (or one can of crushed tomatoes)
4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Next, add your chopped fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes, followed by the vegetable broth. Stir in the dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 20 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until fully blended.
Add the melted butter, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and parsley to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Once the soup base is ready, gently drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture onto the surface of the simmering soup.
Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes.
After the dumplings have cooked, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve your hearty tomato soup in deep bowls, garnished with additional parsley or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
