Make Dumplings
Mix together dry ingredients in large bowl
Melt butter in saucepan and add milk until warm
Add warm liquid to dry ingredients and mix well
Form into 1/2" balls of dough, adding additional flour if needed
Add dumplings to broth and let simmer on medium/low heat for 10 minutes
Broth will thicken as the dumplings cook
Serve several dumplings in each bowl and add a ladle of broth and veggies
This is the perfect basic soup base to play with.
- Add chicken: Make it fancy by adding chicken, use cooked shredded chicken at the end for an easy upgrade or add cubed chicken in the beginning with the veggies
- Asian twist: add ginger, scallions, and thinly sliced mushrooms. Diced tofu optional.
