I have never made this soup... BUT I have made the dumplings a ton of times to go with other stews and soups. Oftentimes, I'll simply bring chicken broth to a boil and make the dumplings to go with something when we've had a lot of pasta, rice, and potato meals recently. It makes for a nice change - and a quick one to put on the table at that. I often saute some combination of peas and minced onion, garlic, and carrot and mix them in with the dough along with different herbs depending on what the main dish is that night. An added bonus: some of the dough always ends up melding with the broth, which, when strained to get rid of tiny, unsightly lumps of dough, makes for a lovely gravy to go with the meal.

Very easy and quick recipe. I followed the recipe as written, except that I added a little Italian seasoning to the dumpling mixture. Everything turned out perfectly. The dumplings were light and fluffy and the soup tasted great. Made for August, 2008 Aussie/NZ Swap - Adopt a Joey.

Yum! This was my first time trying dumpling soup and this recipe was wonderful experience. The instructions were easy to follow and I had all the ingredients on hand, so I kept to the recipe. Only thing I didn't do the same was I used raw diced chicken and the chicken did cooked up in 40 mins (the total cooking time). I wished I checked my pot before I left the kitchen because the warning for not lifting the lid is important. The dumplings do soak a lot to the liquid and my lid wasn't correctly on the pot so a lot of the liquid did evaporate, however I did add more stock and it was still delicious. The dumplings were still fluffy, just like the title said. Thank you Kalice
