Homemade Dumplings

  4. 3 T. light olive oil

  2. Add garbanzos.
  3. Add pasta OR the Dumplings below.
  4. Simmer together for 45 minutes if using dumplings, 30 minutes if using pasta.
  5. Add water if a thinner soup is desired.
  6. Adjust salt to taste by adding more chicken style seasoning if needed.
Dumplings
  1. Whip water and oil together.
  2. Pour over dry ingredients, mixing lightly with fork.
  3. Form into a ball and roll out to 1/4" thick or less.
  4. Cut into 1"x2" strips and drop into boiling broth.
Notes
  1. If you are in a hurry, the pasta easily replaces the dumplings. But be sure and try the dumplings sometime - I think they are so much tastier than the pasta and do add more bulk/heartiness to the dish.
