Ingredients

• 300 grams green beans
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1.5 liters vegetable broth
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 50 grams unsalted butter
• 120 milliliters milk
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper
• 500 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the green beans thoroughly, trim the ends, and cut them into 2 cm (1-inch) pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and dice the carrots. Slice the celery stalks thinly. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing them for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and soft.

Step 4

Add the carrots and celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Stir in the green beans, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

While the soup simmers, prepare the dumpling dough. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, thyme, and a pinch of salt.

Step 8

Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and work it into the flour mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 9

Pour in the milk and stir until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 10

Using a spoon, drop small dollops (about 1 tablespoon each) of the dumpling dough into the simmering soup. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.

Step 11

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley if desired.
