Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Pastry Blender

Ingredients
  

For the soup

  • 1 TBS butter
  • ½ medium onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1 ½ TBS flour
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock 360ml
  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes in tomato juice 14oz/425g
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • salt and black pepper to taste

For the dumplings

  • ½ cup plain all purpose flour 70g
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • fine sea salt and coarse black pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder not salt
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder not salt
  • 2 TBS cold butter
  • 4 TBS grated sharp cheddar cheese plus extra to sprinkle, optional
  • ¼ cup milk 60ml

Instructions
 

Soup Preparation

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until softened and translucent without coloring.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add the chicken broth slowly, along with the undrained tomatoes. Stir and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the sugar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Dumpling Preparation

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and powders together in a bowl. Drop in the butter and cut it in with a pastry blender until the mixture looks like crumbs with some small bits and some larger bits. Stir in the cheese.
  • Add the milk and stir it in to give you a soft dough. Drop by the spoonful on top of the simmering soup.
  • Cover tightly and cook at a slow simmer for 10 to 12 minutes without peeking. They should be soft and fluffy with holes on top when done.
  • If desired, sprinkle a bit more cheddar over top and allow it to melt before ladling the soup and dumplings into heated bowls.
