Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
  2. Sprinkle in dried basil and oregano, stirring to coat the onions and garlic.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth, stirring until well combined. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Add heavy cream and sugar to the soup, stirring gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. While the soup simmers, prepare the dumplings. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Pour melted butter and milk into the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  7. Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, shape the dough into small balls.
  8. Carefully drop dumplings into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.
  9. Ladle soup with dumplings into bowls and serve warm.
