Mexican Corn Dumpling Soup

"A totally delicious and different soup - our local grocery store was making this last week and I got the recipe. The recipe called for 1 Tbsp chili powder originally but for my own personal taste I reduced it to 1/2 Tbsp. It also makes a fantastic vegetarian dish if you omit the meat - you get the protein from the beans and the heaviness from the dumplings!"

  1. I bought a southwestern rotisserie chicken and shredded it. I used canned chicken broth with garlic. I used parsley instead of the cilantro. I put a little chili powder and cheese in the dumpling batter. This was very good and easy to make. The best thing was that the kids loved it!
