Welcome to Backyard Chef. We're making tomato soup and dumplings.

In a bowl, mix self-raising flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add butter to the flour mixture and crumble it together.

Gradually add water to form a dough, ensuring it’s not too sticky.

Divide the dough into eight pieces to form dumplings.

In a pan, add Heinz tomato soup and about 300 ml of water, stirring to combine.

Season the soup with black pepper and mixed herbs.

Warm the soup without boiling it, then reduce to a simmer.

Drop the dumplings into the simmering soup and cover the pan.

Cook for about 20-25 minutes until the dumplings puff up.
