All this talk of soups and no mention of dumplings! Vegetable soup with dumplings has just that little bit (of lovely stodge) extra. However, for the true vegetarians out there, I have to report that vegetarian suet, in the opinion of Mrs. F., doesn't make as good dumplings as beef suet. Discuss...

Tip: Leave the dumplings soaking in the soup until the last knockings and then guzzle down
