Yellow Split Pea Soup with Cheese Dumplings
A rustic yellow split pea soup enriched with smoky pancetta and root vegetables, slow-simmered until hearty and creamy. Topped with tender cheese dumplings studded with sharp aged cheddar. The recipe swaps rutabaga for parsnip, lardons for diced pancetta for a subtler, cleaner pork flavor. The dumplings swap butter for olive oil and milk for cream, lending silkier texture. Simmering times adjusted slightly. Dicing the veggies uniformly ensures even cooking. Dumplings dropped gently, cooked until set with slight crumble on a tester. Small practical tips help troubleshoot and get consistent results.
