Newfoundland Pea Soup (dumplings?)

I’m sooo looking forward to the cooler weather (don’t really have winters in Houston) so I can make pea soup!! I recently received my shipment of salt beef (took almost a month to get here!), and we have several bags of yellow split peas in the pantry.

But what about the dumplings? The dumplings I make now are obviously made with white flour, and the soup just isn’t the same without the dumplings! :D

Can rice or some other flour be substituted? I can do some experimenting, I guess, but thought I’d check here first to see if anyone else has resolved this.

This is one case I think where I will have to make “his” and “her” batches of soup….regular dumplings for me, and gluten-free dumplings for my husband!!

Thanks!

Hi Stacie,

I'm a fellow Newf living off the rock too.

My mom and I are both newly diagnosed celiacs and were recently talking about dumplings for pea soup. My mom makes the most awesome dumplings with wheat flour - I'm really going to miss them!

Anyway, she made a batch of pea soup the other day and decided to try making gluten-free dumplings. It didn't go well- the rice flour really soaked up a lot of water, and she had to keep adding more water to the batter as she mixed them up. Then she said they really smelled bad when she cooked them and she thought she had actually ruined her pot of soup. They also looked kind of funny when she took the lid off the pot.

Don't know what they tasted like- she told me she got disgusted and threw all the dumplings in the garbage and just ate the soup without them.... thankfully it wasn't ruined :o)

Let me know if you find something that works when you are experimenting.

I'm sure you already know this, but if you make regular dumplings for yourself you'll need to take your husband's soup out first so that you won't contaminate his soup with gluten.

Hope you have better luck than my mom had.

Hi there,

I made a dumpling soup the other day, and they turned out exactly the same.

The recipe is on my website below if you would like it, however, I just adapted mine with the correct flours and xanthan.

We love chicken and dumplings. Not sure if they're the same style dumplings though. I use Br. Rice Flour, Potato Starch, Tapioca Starch and Xanthan gum for my flour, and then follow the recipe in Betty Crocker. I've never had them flop yet. NOTHING will work with plain rice flour.

Clarenville is a beautiful area, I spent many summers in the Bonavista Bay area when I was growing up.

Next year's celiac assoc meeting is in New Brunswick- I'll bet there will be some people there who have worked out a good recipe for gluten-free dumplings!

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
