I am loving my new cookbook, A Taste of Wellness by Rochel Weiss. This is the sixth recipe I have made from the book and none have disappointed so far. My house smelled amazing and these little balls tasted just like dumplings! I was skeptical at first because the recipe did not call for any flour of any sort. I really didn’t think they would have a dumpling consistency, but they did!
This was a super quick meal to put together because I had frozen chicken broth in my freezer. Chicken broth is so versatile and can be used in so many recipes, so I always love to have it on hand. You can read more about why homemade chicken broth is so good for you here. I used the grater on my food processor to grate the onion and zucchini. If you do not have a food processor, a hand grater will work just as well.
I am eating this soup for a mid-morning snack after my workout as I write this post, it is a great source of protein!
