I bought another of Taste of Home's checkout stand cookbooks, Dinner on a Dime, recently and I had to try this one. It was really delicious and super easy to make.

DUMPLING VEGETABLE SOUP

From Taste of Home’s Dinner on a Dime Cookbook

½ pound ground beef
4 cups water
1 can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 package (10 to 16 oz.) frozen mixed vegetables
1 envelope onion soup mix (I used Lipton’s Beefy Onion)
½ tsp. dried oregano
¼ tsp. fresh ground black pepper

RICE DUMPLINGS

1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. shortening
1/3 cup cooked rice, room temperature
1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
½ cup milk

· In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add water, tomatoes, vegetables, soup mix, oregano and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

· For dumplings, combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add rice and parsley; toss. In a small bowl, combine egg and milk. Stir into rice mixture just until moistened.

· Drop by teaspoonfuls onto simmering soup. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the cover while simmering!) Serve immediately.

Yield: 4 – 8 servings. (2 quarts).

Charlene’s notes: The only thing I did different from the recipe was to use a 16 oz. Package of veggies. Original recipe called for 10 oz. I also added about ¾ tsp. dried basil at the end of the cooking time. I ate mine with lemon pepper on it and it was absolutely delicious.
