Tips

  • Keep the chicken broth after shredding the chicken for the soup base.
  • Add chicken bouillon paste to caramelize with the veggies for extra flavor.
  • Do not move the dumplings once they are plopped into the soup base.
  • Leaving the herb bouquet in with the dumplings allows them to soak up all the flavor.
