Hardy white bean soup with dumplings

I've been trying to make do with what we already have in the pantry and remembered how my mom used to make dumplings for our soup and it was a good way to stretch the dinner with cheap ingredients. I just used veg I had on hand and the last of the dry beans I had.

Dumplings:
2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk or water (I needed a bit more bc it was too dry)

Mix together and summer for 10-15 mins on the soup, covered.

For the soup i diced and sauteed onion, carrots, celery, potato and few spoonfuls of chopped sundried tomators in oil. I seased with a bit of cumin seeds, salt and black pepper. In the meantime i used the scraps of the veg to flavor the broth I was making from 2 veggie bouillon cubes. I then added the strained broth to the sauteed veg ans added white beans that I had soaked and cooked in a pressure cooker. The dumplings thickened the soup up nicely then I topped with a bit of parsley.
