For the dumplings, in a medium bowl, stir together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl combine sour cream, milk, and oil. Add the liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until combined. (don’t overmix!)
Drop teaspoonful amounts of dumpling dough into the boiling soup, covering the entire surface of the soup. Cover the pot and simmer for 12-15 min. Do Not lift the lid off the lid while the dumplings cook.
When dumplings have cooked fully, remove the lid and gently stir the dumplings to break apart.
