Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables: Dice the carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes. Trim and cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth and milk, making sure to break up any lumps of flour. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the potatoes, green beans, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Cover and let the vegetables simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the dumpling batter. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and melted butter, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Once the vegetables are tender and the broth has slightly thickened, reduce the heat to low. Use a spoon to drop 1-2 tablespoon-sized portions of the dumpling batter onto the surface of the simmering liquid. Avoid overcrowding.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are puffy and cooked through. Do not lift the lid while the dumplings cook.
Serve hot, scooping the vegetables, creamy broth, and dumplings into bowls. Enjoy!
