Loved this and will definitely make it again! The dumplings were great :) I made the following changes: 1) didn’t include the flour/ extra oil step (my dumplings “shed” a bit while cooking so they thickened up the soup) 2) used soyrizo 3) used non-fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream 4) added: half a head of cauliflower, 2 medium Mexican gray squash, and a chopped chipotle pepper, also added about 2 more cups of broth to account for the extra veggies. I also had to cook the soup for extra time- simmering with the lid on- because my dumplings didn’t not firm up in 10 minutes.Reply
