Good, but the dumplings floppedFebruary 08, 2008By cstull
"The soup was fantastic! I did throw in about five slices of canned jalapenos (I made a double-recipe), so this added a little kick. I might use a little less beans next time since this soup has more innards than broth. But, maybe you like it that way - who knows! Also, you can cut down on the sodium from the bullion by using Herb-OX low-sodium (practically sodium-free) beef or chicken bullion. The dumplings completely fell apart and turned to mush. I dropped them into the crock pot, they puffed up like marshmallows in a microwave, then fell apart completely within about 15 minutes. Instead of the dumplings, make cornbread (there's usually a recipe on the back of the cornmeal box)."
