Ingredients

Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 25 grams butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • ½ sweet potato, peeled and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, torn
  • 2 (400g) cans chopped tomatoes
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 50ml single cream

Dumpling Ingredients

  • 125g dried breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 75g mature cheddar, grated
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 egg
  • 50g cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the chopped onion and peeled, chopped sweet potato. Cook gently for 5-10 minutes until the vegetables become soft and translucent, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  2. Add Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and ground cinnamon, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the torn fresh basil leaves, canned chopped tomatoes, and chicken stock to the pot.
  3. Cook Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer gently for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to cook through.
  4. Make Dumplings: In a mixing bowl, combine the dried breadcrumbs, baking powder, grated mature cheddar, mustard powder, dried oregano, egg, and cream cheese. Mix thoroughly to form a stiff and cohesive dumpling dough. Shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized balls.
  5. Blend Soup: Carefully blend the soup using a hand blender or in batches in a regular blender until it’s smooth and creamy. Return the soup to the pot. Season with sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the single cream to add richness.
  6. Cook Dumplings: Drop the prepared cheese dumplings gently into the simmering soup. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 10 minutes, which will let them puff up and cook through inside the soup. Serve the soup hot, spooning two dumplings per bowl along with the soup.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken stock with vegetable stock for a vegetarian version, but note the diet classification will change.
  • If you prefer a spicier soup, add a pinch of chili flakes along with the cinnamon.
  • Be careful not to stir the soup once dumplings are added to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • The dumplings can be made smaller or larger depending on your serving preference.
  • Leftover dumplings can be pan-fried the next day for a tasty snack.
