Rinse the green beans thoroughly, trim the ends, and cut them into 2 cm (1-inch) pieces. Set aside.
Peel and dice the carrots. Slice the celery stalks thinly. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautΓ©ing them for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and soft.
Add the carrots and celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Stir in the green beans, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
While the soup simmers, prepare the dumpling dough. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, thyme, and a pinch of salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and work it into the flour mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and stir until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a spoon, drop small dollops (about 1 tablespoon each) of the dumpling dough into the simmering soup. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley if desired.
