Method
 

Method:
  1. Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes. Boil them in a pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, corn starch, baking powder, dried parsley, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour until it’s manageable. Set aside.
  3. While the dough is resting, dice the onion, garlic, carrots, celery root, celery, and parsnip.
  4. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Add the carrots, celery root, celery, and parsnip, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
  5. Pour in the veggie broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the cannellini beans and green peas, stirring to combine. If using saffron, add it now for a hint of color and flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. With your hands, shape the dumpling dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Gently drop them into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 10-12 minutes, until they’re fluffy and cooked through.
  7. Once the dumplings are cooked, stir in the fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy the comforting warmth of your homemade Vegan Dumpling Soup!
