Notes
- For extra flavor, use a high-quality vegetable broth or chicken broth.
- Don't overmix the dumpling dough; slight lumps are fine and will result in tender dumplings.
- Ensure the soup is at a gentle boil when dropping dumplings to cook them evenly.
- This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of broth or milk if it's too thick. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
