2 tablespoons all purpose gluten-free flour
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

To Make The Dumplings

Combine all-purpose gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt in a medium bowl. Add butter and mix until crumbly, Add water and parsley and mix to form a dough ball, set aside.

To Prepare The Soycurls

Drain soy curls and place in a medium bowl. toss with Bragg's Liquid Aminos, and Italian Seasoning. Select the Saute setting on the Instant Pot and heat the oil. It should say HOT. Add Soy Curls and cook stirring until starting to brown, about 3 minutes.

To Prepare The Soup

Move the Soy Curls to one side of the Instant Pot, add onions, garlic, celery and cook stirring for 2 minutes. Add carrots and stir. Move the vegetables leaving a spot and add the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Add almond milk, vegetable broth and deglaze the bottom of the pot, using a wooden spatula to scrape the Instant Pot bottom. Add thyme, nutritional yeast flakes, bay leaf, and salt. Divide the dumpling batter into 10 pieces, take each piece, roughly roll into a ball and drop on top of the soup and stir gently.
Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, turn the Pressure Release knob to the Sealing position. Cancel the saute function. Press the Pressure Cook/Manual setting and set the cooking time for 5 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, them move the Pressure release to 'Venting'to release the remaining steam. When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid and stir, remove the bay leaf and serve.
