- 3 cups (720 g) chicken broth
- 2 cups (490 g) whole milk, room temperature
- 1 head broccoli, chopped (about 3 ¼ cups florets)
- 1 cup carrots, washed, shredded (about 2 carrots)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

- 4 cups (452 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Dumplings
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- ½ cup (115 g) sour cream
- ¼ cup (61 g) whole milk

Soup
In a Dutch oven (or a large pot with a lid) over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add onions and cook until softened (about 5-8 minutes). Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir together until lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly, until no flour lumps remain.
Add the broccoli, carrots, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cheese. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the cheese has melted. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Dumplings
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and parsley. Add the sour cream, milk, and eggs. Stir to combine.
Drop large spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture on top of the soup.
Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the dumplings are done.
Serve hot, garnished with parsley.
