Simple Dumpling Soup

• 8 cups chicken broth or a combination of water and broth (vegetable broth works too)
• 1½ cups shredded carrots
• 2 cups white whole wheat flour
• 1 tbs. baking powder
• ½ tsp. salt
• 3 tbs. butter
• 1 cup milk

Instructions

1. To make the dough, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the butter and milk until the butter melts. Add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix.
2. In a large pot, bring the broth just to a boil, then lower the heat to medium. Add 1 cup of the carrots.
3. Form ½-inch balls of dough and add them to the pot. Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes. The broth will thicken as the dumpling batter breaks down a bit.
4. Divide the soup into bowls and sprinkle each bowl with the remaining carrots.
