Alex and I decided to use an upcoming dinner with dear friends as an excuse to pair local winter basil with a warming soup, and it was a huge hit. It’s tangy and comforting, punctuated by doughy savory dumplings. Here’s a few tips and the recipe!
Making tomato dumpling soup is truly simple: just saute minced garlic, then add tomatoes, veggie broth, and chopped basil and simmer. Man, these dumplings are SO GOOD. They’re made simply with flour, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg. If you’d like, you can substitute in up to ⅓ whole wheat flour for a heartier flavor. After mixing the dumpling dough, you place them right into the soup to cook. It’s so fun to watch them turn from dough blogs into delicious dumplings!
Tomato Basil Gnocchi Soup is a similar concept, but it uses store-bought gnocchi, basically little pasta dough-balls! Tomato Artichoke Soup is one of our fan favorite deliciously cozy tomato soup recipes, It adds artichokes to give it a slight tang, and homemade garlic croutons. Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup is another fan favorite, made creamy using cashews and no dairy. We like to garnish with star-shaped toasts!
