Instructions

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped zucchini, and bell pepper; cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Simmer with Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Prepare Dumpling Batter: Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the chopped herbs, milk, and melted butter until everything is well combined.
Cook Dumplings: Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the simmering stew. Cover the pot and cook for another 15 minutes until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.
Serve Hot: Ladle generous portions into bowls and serve hot, allowing the aroma of herbs and vegetables to fill your kitchen.
