Vegetarian Garlic
Soup With Cilantro Dumplings
|
|
Note from Cheri:
When winter cold season hits, vegetarians need a good alternative
to traditional chicken soup. Garlic is reputed to have tremendous
healing powers and is said to boost the immune system. Don't
worry about being overpowered by the huge amount of garlic in
this recipe. The flavor mellows as it cooks. I regularly serve
this soup whenever we're feeling "under the weather." While
I can't claim that it cures the common cold, it is a soothing
comfort food for cold winter evenings. It's also pretty tasty.
The cilantro dumplings add a nice touch, but you could easily
eliminate them and use noodles instead. |

Makes About 8 Cups
1. Add all soup ingredients together and simmer
for anout thirty minutes.
2. While soup is simmering, prepare dumplings. Mix dry ingredients
together. Add remaining ingredients and mix into a stiff batter.
Drop batter into boiling soup about 1/2 teaspoon full at a time.
When dumplings float (which should only take a minute or so), they
are cooked and your soup is ready to be served.
