Mom's Tomato Soup with GF dumplings "Kluskies"
Growing up my mom always made this tomato soup with fresh tomatoes and home made dumplings. I now made my own gluten-free dumplings and it's so much fun. This soup is so easy to make, and peeling the tomatoes is really the only time consuming part. It's not an exact science so you might have to play around a bit in oder to get the dumplings just right for you.

If you are vegan, just omit the dumplings, or try making them with an egg substitute and let us know how it goes!

Soup Ingredients
4-6 lbs fresh tomatoes
(1-2 cans whole tomatoes or tomato paste depending on how flavorful your tomatoes are)
1 medium size yellow onion (coarsely chopped)
2-3 garlic cloves (minced)
Vegetable broth or bouillon
Salt and pepper to taste

Dumpling Ingredients
- 1/2 to 2/3 cups of your favorite gluten free flour mix, or make your own: 1/4 cup each of rice flour, potato starch and sorghum flour
- 1/2 tsp psyllium husk
- 3 eggs
- 0.5 tsp salt

Instructions for Soup
1. Cut a shallow “X” in the bottom of each tomato, boil them briefly in a large pot. Let them cool and remove peel (you can put them in ice water if you'd like to speed up the process).
2. Sauté the onion and garlic in some oil.
3. Put tomatoes, onion, garlic, vegetable stock in a big pot and some water. If you use vegetable bullion add more water.
4. Simmer for 30-60 minutes. Use a hand mixer to blend all ingredients.
5. Salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy as is, or move on to making the dumplings!

Instructions for Dumplings
1. Whisk the eggs with a fork.
2. In a separate bowl mix the rice flour, potato starch, sorghum flour (or use your pre-bought flour mix), psyllium husk and salt. (the mixture needs to be very thick)
3. Bring the soup to a boil. Take a small amount of the mix on your spoon and drop it in the boiling soup. If it forms a little dumpling, you got it right. If it doesn't hold together add more flour mix to the eggs.
4. Repeat making the dumplings by putting a small amount onto spoon and drop into soup.

Enjoy!
