Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Tear sourdough bread into small pieces and place in a large bowl.

Cook spinach in boiling water until wilted, about 2-3 minutes, then drain and chop finely.

Sauté chopped onion and garlic in butter until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Combine sourdough bread, spinach, sautéed onion and garlic in the bowl.

Add eggs, flour, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley to the mixture.

Mix until well combined and let sit for 15 minutes to absorb flavors.

Bring vegetable broth to a simmer in a large pot.

Form the mixture into dumplings, about the size of a golf ball.

Carefully drop dumplings into the simmering broth.

Cook dumplings for about 15-20 minutes, until they float to the surface.

Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain.

Serve warm, topped with grated parmesan cheese.
