Ingredients
  

What You’ll Need for the Stew

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable broth powder chicken style
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 6 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cup celery ribs sliced
  • 1 1/2 cup carrots sliced
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 medium potato diced
  • 1 cup soy curls rehydrated in broth
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk original
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 3 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill or Italian parsley minced, for garnish (optional)

What You’ll Need for the Dumplings

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh dill or Italian parsley minced (optional)
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp unsweetened soy milk original
  • 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

Instructions
 

First, Make the Country Vegetables

  • In a large stock pot, add 6 cups of water, broth powder, nutritional yeast, onion powder, celery, carrots, onion and potato. Bring up to a simmer over medium-high heat uncovered. Once you’re reached a slow simmer, reduce heat to maintain that slow simmer and partially cover the pot. Continue simmering the stew until the vegetables are soft. This should take roughly 20 minutes.
  • Now, prepare the thickener. Whisk together flour, soy milk and 1/2 C water in a small bowl until smooth. While you can use a simple whisk here, you will get reliable results using a blender, food processor or immersion blender instead. Slowly whisk this thickener into the stew. Continue whisking until the stew thickens. NOTE: It’s critical that the thickener is fully blended before adding it into the stew. If it isn’t, your end result will be less like tasty stew and more like a mushy mess that you don’t want to eat. If you don’t want to gamble it, use a food processor or blender here.
  • Stir in fresh parley, rehydrated soy curls and frozen peas. Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue stirring until the pot returns to a simmer.

Next, Bring On the Dumplings

  • Let’s prepare the dumplings! In a large bowl, thoroughly combine flour, baking powder, salt and optional parsley. Add the soy milk and oil. Stir until the dough is moistened and loosely holds together. Be careful not to overmix at this stage as a dense dough will result in dense dumplings.
  • Now, grab a spoon! Drop the dough by spoonfuls into the thickened stew one at a time. You’ll be tempted to stir, but don’t. Cover the pot, reduce the heat and simmer. Walk away for 20 minutes. During this time, your dumplings will steam.
  • Upon your return, open the pot and pull out a dumpling. Does it seem done? Not sure? Cut it in half and check out the texture. You can even give it a sneaky taste test. I won’t tell! If it’s not done, continue steaming for a few more minutes.

Let’s Eat!

  • Scoop a hearty portion of country vegetables and dumplings into bowls and garnish with pepper, parsley and/or dill.
