Ingredients

  • Fresh ripe tomatoes or canned whole tomatoes (preferably fire-roasted)
  • Onions
  • Garlic
  • Vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • Heavy cream
  • Sharp cheddar cheese (or mild cheddar or a blend of cheeses)
  • Baking powder
  • Flour
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt
  • Milk
  • Fresh basil (or dried basil or oregano)
  • Dried parsley
  • Old Bay seasoning

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. If using fresh tomatoes, chop them roughly and add to the pot. If using canned, pour them in along with their juices. Stir well.
  3. Pour in your vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer it to a blender in batches. Return the soup to the pot after blending.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt, pepper, and fresh basil to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in grated cheddar cheese and mix until combined.
  7. Slowly add milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Once your soup is simmering, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the surface of the soup. Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings steam for about 10-12 minutes, until they are fluffy and cooked through.
