  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup chopped carrots

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice

Dumplings:

  • ½ cup milk or non-dairy milk

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Dumplings:

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually stir in the milk and olive oil (if using) until just combined. Do not overmix. The dough should be slightly sticky.

  3. Add Herbs (Optional): Stir in the chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.

  4. Let Rest: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the soup.

Prepare the Soup:

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil or coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

  2. Add Spices: Stir in the curry powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant and toasted.

  3. Add Liquids: Pour in the vegetable broth or chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (undrained). Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. Add Vegetables: Add the chopped carrots, celery, and bell peppers to the pot. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  5. Add Chickpeas and Greens: Stir in the drained and rinsed chickpeas and the chopped spinach or kale. Cook until the greens are wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Cook the Dumplings:

  1. Drop Dumplings: Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering soup. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot; work in batches if necessary.

  2. Cover and Cook: Cover the pot and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and have puffed up.

  3. Check for Doneness: To check if the dumplings are done, insert a toothpick into one of the dumplings. If it comes out clean, the dumplings are ready.

Finish and Serve:

  1. Add Lemon Juice: Stir in the lemon juice or lime juice to brighten the flavors of the soup.

  2. Season to Taste: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the Delicious Curry Dumpling Soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while hot.
