Units Scale

Main Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (chopped small)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water

For the Dumplings:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Soup: In a large pot, melt butter and cook onion until softened. Add garlic, broccoli, broth, milk, mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika. Simmer until broccoli is tender. Stir in cornstarch slurry until slightly thickened. Gradually stir in cheddar cheese until smooth.

  • For extra richness, consider adding cream or nutmeg.
  • For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup before adding dumplings.
