Mexican Corn Dumpling Soup image

A totally delicious and different soup - our local grocery store was making this last week and I got the recipe. The recipe called for 1 Tbsp chili powder originally but for my own personal taste I reduced it to 1/2 Tbsp. It also makes a fantastic vegetarian dish if you omit the meat - you get the protein from the beans and the heaviness from the dumplings!
