- 1 can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
- 2/3 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 2/3 cup milk

Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Soup Base:
- In a large stew pot, combine water, beef bouillon cubes, diced carrots, chopped onion, sliced celery, canned Italian-style stewed tomatoes (undrained), peas, and minced garlic.
-
Bring to a Boil:
- Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the soup mixture to a boil.
-
Brown Ground Beef:
- While the soup is coming to a boil, brown the ground beef in a separate skillet over medium heat. Once browned, drain any excess fat.
-
Prepare Dumpling Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, milk, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
-
Add Ground Beef:
- Once the ground beef is cooked, add it to the pot of boiling soup. Let it simmer together for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Add Dumplings:
- Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the boiling soup. Distribute them evenly across the surface of the soup.
-
Cook Dumplings Uncovered:
- Allow the dumplings to cook uncovered in the simmering soup for about 10 minutes. This will give them time to cook through and absorb some of the delicious flavors from the soup.
-
Cover and Simmer:
- After 10 minutes, cover the pot tightly with a lid. Let the soup simmer for an additional 10 minutes to ensure that the dumplings are fully cooked and tender.
-
Serve Hot:
- Once the soup is done simmering, remove it from the heat. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy the comforting warmth and flavors of this hearty Quick Veggie Beef Soup with Parsley Dumplings!
