step-by-step directions
  • For the Mushroom Stock: Add stock ingredients to a large stock pot. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. Let simmer for 30 minutes to infuse flavors. Strain stock and allow to cool. Place in freezer proof containers for storage.
  • For the Soup: In a large dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Saute onion and garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Turn heat to high and add mushrooms to saute. Season with salt and pepper. After 2 minutes add remaining vegetables and season with salt. Cook until vegetables achieve a slight char, about 2-3 minutes. Add mushroom stock, fresh thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • For the Dumplings: In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly whisk in half-in-half forming a sticking dumplings. Dough should be similar to a wet drop biscuit. Adjust with extra half-in-half and flour to achieve desired consistency.
  • Drop spoonfuls of dumpling mix into simmering stew. Cover and allow to steam for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
