Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 cups dumpling mix (or homemade: 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 cup milk, 4 tbsp butter)
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or thyme) for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Sauté chopped onions until translucent; add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  2. Add ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart as it browns for about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour in beef broth and add diced carrots. Bring to a gentle boil then reduce heat to simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Prepare the dumpling batter according to package instructions or your homemade recipe; it should be thick enough to hold shape.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling batter onto the simmering soup without overcrowding. Cover tightly and cook undisturbed for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving hot.
