What do you know about dumplings? These dumplings are similar to empanadas, but covered with much softer dough. They are most often steamed, sometimes fried. In this recipe the dumplings are cooked in the same soup broth. You can prepare a large batch of dumplings ahead of time, cooking up some with this soup, and freezing the remaining dumplings for a future meal. These dumplings can be added to any flavor broth for a complete main meal, or boiled and served on their own as an appetizer. You could also enjoy these dumplings with a red dipping sauce; however, I’m sure once you’ve tried them in this soup, you’ll vote for this combo the next time dumplings come up on your weekly menu. What other ideas do you have for stuffing these dumplings? MORE + LESS -
