EASY DUMPLING SOUP.

When days are cold and temperatures low.. make Soups and other goodly things. Use Spices and Herbs.. 

Dear Readers, here is a recipe for Dumpling Soup that WE make quite often, very easy, very quick!

Ingredients.

Rough Semolina - about 5 1/2 soupspoons.
Star Anise - 1 pod. NOT a WHOLE STAR! 
Sunflower Oil - 2 tablespoons.
Egg - 1 medium size.
Stock - of any flavour WE use Beef & Chicken
(Frozen in a ice cube mould).
Small Red Chilli.
Fine Sea Salt. 
Water - 2 Pints.
Pot with tight fitting lid.
Dessert or large teaspoon for shaping Dumplings.

Put Chilli, Star Anise and Stock into COLD water, bring slowly to boil, put lid onto prevent liquid   evaporation.

Beat Egg and Oil together with small pinch of Salt.

Mix Semolina with Egg & Oil mixture until stiff.


Set aside for 15 minutes.

Shape Dumplings into not too large Crescent shapes, then put carefully them into the slowly rolling stock, turn off the heat and allow to sit for 
10 - 15 minutes.

ALL recipes need tweaking - sizes, oil, semolina all being different but this has been a recipe that has been made for many a year in OUR YumYum HQ.

WE hope that YOU too, Dear Readers, enjoy it!
