This is a hearty, filling bean soup recipe that is only slightly spicy. If you'd like to add a few hundred kilos of heat, feel free to throw in a 4 oz can of chili peppers. This makes quite a big portion of dumplings, as our family loves them. Read more . You may halve the dumpling recipe for only 8 small dumplings if you wish. Enjoy! -Kn0x- Ingredients:
