Root Vegetable Stew with Herbed Dumplings

From EatingWell: November/December 2008 — Subscribe Now!

This root vegetable stew is flecked with sausage and topped with whole-wheat herbed dumplings. Turn up the heat by using hot Italian sausage or make it crowd-pleasing with sweet sausage. If you find beets or turnips with their greens still attached, the greens of one bunch should yield just enough for this dish. Otherwise use whatever dark leafy greens look fresh at the market.

I've made this several times, and would suggest the following... In my opinion, kale is the ONLY green to use here, it is just perfect, and i've had less than stellar results with other options. All the root vegetables are tasty, but know that the soup will be HOT PINK if you use beets, fair warning. Do not try to use all-purpose flour if you're out of the others - disaster will strike in the form of leaden bricks instead of dumplings. I use hot Italian sausage and love it, but I crumble it instead of doing slices, much more rustic that way.	7 weeks 5 days ago
