Unfortunately, my husband and myself did not care for this. Too watery and dumplings were too grainy for our taste.
-
My dumplings were not crumbly at all. Perhaps the generic brand of yogurt I used was thinner than most. If you think the soup is on the bland side, that is easily corrected by adding dry spices such as Italian seasoning. Will be making this again.

The dough for the dumplings was crumbly. The dumplings were tough. Overall the soup was mediocre.
