WINTER BROTH WITH DUMPLINGS THE WAY MY NANA MAKES
This is another of the dishes I've been brought up on. A warming, comforting dish, very nutritious and, without the dumplings, low in fat. The vegetables can be substituted, there are no hard and fast laws, after all, my nana makes it with whatever she has in the house! Feel free to experiment with combinations of vegetables. The only must is that the herbs are fished out before serving and that you serve with crusty buttered bread! I also like to liquidise some or all of the broth to give a thicker texture, though it then becomes vegetable soup. You may find you need more or less liquid--again, experiment.

Steps:
- In a very large pan, heat the oil or butter very gently.
- Over a low light, add the leeks, turnip, carrots and celery, toss around to coat in oil and then put on the lid.
- Shaking the pan at regular intervals, allow the vegetables to 'sweat' for about 10 minutes.
- Now add the rest of the vegetables, make the stock cubes up with the water and add this, along with the herbs and a touch of salt and pepper (you can taste and re-season later) Bring to the boil, replace the lid, and simmer for at least an hour to bring out the flavours of the vegetables.
- Add the barley or lentils after about 20 minutes cooking time.
- Meanwhile, make the dumpling mix by combining the dry ingredients and mixing to a soft but not sticky dough with cold water.
- Divide this into small pieces about the size of a golf ball and drop one by one into the simmering soup.
- Replace the lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, by which time the dumplings should have puffed up and become light and fluffy.
- Serve with lots of crusty bread and butter!
