Ingredients
  

For the soup

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, combine chicken broth and water, and bring to a boil.
  2. Add the diced vegetables and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Carefully add the dumplings to the pot.
  4. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer until the dumplings are cooked through, about 10 minutes for homemade dumplings or according to package instructions.

  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months. Add a splash of water or broth when reheating to revive the soup's freshness. Consider meat or veggie alternatives for flexibility.
