Notes

For the best results, ensure your dumplings are not too large, as they expand while cooking. If you prefer a thicker broth, you can add a tablespoon of flour mixed with a bit of water to the soup before adding the dumplings. Taste the soup towards the end and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
