Meal Prep Vegan Dumplings Soup
You can easily meal prep this vegan and dairy free spring vegetable soup recipe by following the below recipe and dividing it into a few equal portions to enjoy throughout the week. I love having a healthy homemade meal ready in my fridge during the busy weekdays. By meal prepping this recipe, you can cook once and have perfectly portioned meals ready to go. I rely heavily on meal prepping and created a whole section of the site to recipes you can meal prep, batch cook, or make ahead. Heat + eat, you’re all set!
What’s In This Vegan Spring Dumpling Soup Recipe?
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Onion
- Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
- Carrots
- Celery
- Potatoes
- Reduced Sodium Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this low sodium vegetable base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium. I only develop my recipes with low sodium ingredients so the ingredients shine. You can always add salt to a recipe if it needs it, but it’s almost impossible to take it out! By starting with a low sodium broth or bouillon, you can build bright vibrant flavors and add more salt later if needed.
- Thyme
- Peas
- Parsley
- All Purpose Flour: I normally use King Arthur organic all purpose flour for all my recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this dish. If you want to keep it a little wholesome, you can use half whole wheat flour as well
- Baking Powder: there is a no sodium and gluten free baking powder here on Amazon!
- Almond Milk: I like this shelf-stable almond milk, I always keep a few of these in my pantry or fridge and it’s great for recipes like this! Make sure you use a plain unsweetened milk, or regular milk if you eat dairy.
One Pot Vegan Dumpling Soup Recipes For the Win!
This cozy vegan spring soup recipe is the perfect one-pot lunch or dinner! I love a good One Pot Meal, especially during these fall months when the weather starts to turn cooler. Cooking everything in one pot is one of my favorite ways to get a meal on the table fast! All the food gets cooked at once, which makes cleaning up a breeze. And the stove does all the work for you, so you can focus on other kitchen prep while the food cooks. One Pot meals are awesome for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – check out my link here to see other healthy one pot meals that are ready in no time!
Use Frozen Vegetables in this Dumpling Stew!
I used a few frozen veggies for this recipe instead of fresh produce. Frozen produce is a great option for finding fresh and flavorful vegetables in the off season. By using freezer ingredients, I can stock up when they are on sale, and use them in all kinds of great dishes. It saves me a trip to the store, and I can add amazing veggies right into the recipe. Frozen vegetables are often picked at peak ripeness, so they are a much better option than canned. Check out all my recipes that use Freezer Ingredients on The Herbeevore – great for those nights when you want dinner ready fast!

How Do I Make Vegan Dumpling Soup?
- In a large soup pot, add the olive oil, onion, and garlic. Saute on low heat for 5 to 6 minutes until the veggies become translucent. Add the carrots and celery and saute for an additional 3 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, vegetable stock, salt, and thyme and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook on low for 30 minutes until veggies are soft. Add the corn and peas and stir well.
- Mix all the dumpling ingredients in a bowl, and knead a few times with your hands until the dough is well combined.
- With a small scoop (I used a small melon baller) scoop 1 teaspoon of dough into the soup at a time. The dumplings should be roughly the same size. Add each dumpling to the soup until all the dough is gone. Then add the fresh parsley and spinach. Cover the soup and simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Dumplings should be cooked all the way through.
- Serve with a fresh side salad, a slice of thick crusty bread, and enjoy!
