Quick, easy and ohhh so good. My dh & I enjoyed this very much. The flavour is amazing. We used only green onions and peas as the vegetables in this soup. The broth was light and flavorful. The dumplings were easy to make, light and soft in texture and much more flavorful than the ones we get from our local chinese restaurant. Thank you so much for sharing a recipe that I will use often. I am so happy that I tried this dish during Spring Pac 08.
