Cabbage and Dumplings Delight is a comforting American soup featuring tender sautéed cabbage and shredded carrots simmered in a flavorful vegetable broth, with fluffy homemade dumplings cooked directly in the broth for a warm and hearty meal.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables and Broth

  • 2 cups green cabbage, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Dumplings

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent, then stir in the chopped cabbage and shredded carrots. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the vegetable broth and add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes to develop the flavors.
  3. Prepare Dumpling Batter: While the soup simmers, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined without overmixing.
  4. Cook Dumplings: After the soup has simmered, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the hot broth. Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 10-12 minutes undisturbed, allowing them to steam and become fluffy.
  5. Serve: Once the dumplings are cooked through, serve the cabbage and dumplings hot in bowls for a cozy and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Do not lift the lid while the dumplings are cooking to ensure they steam properly.
  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth if not keeping vegetarian.
  • Feel free to add herbs like thyme or parsley for additional freshness.
  • To make the dumplings gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure baking powder is gluten-free.
