Best Herb Dumplings image

This recipe probably came from the Huisgenoot, a South African magazine where I found many wonderful recipes. The dumpling can be added to any soup for the last 15 - 20 minutes of cooking time. I usually add it to a thick vegetable soup. It is so comforting and satisfying on a cold winters day.
