Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, chopped
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
3 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk

Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and carrot. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the carrot begins to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, sugar, salt, pepper, and basil. Stir everything together and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes.
Blend the soup until smooth, leaving some texture if desired.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and parsley.
Pour in the milk and stir until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture on top of the simmering soup.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings steam for about 15 minutes.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with parsley, if desired.
