Dumpling soup for the soul

You perhaps know how it happens, in the grocery store you spot something which was not in the original shopping list and then suddenly all you can think of is how to incorporate this item in your next meal. A bag of frozen dumplings was the item that day.

Rather than the usual frantic search on the internet for recipes, this time it was a quick consultation with younger brother over skype. His acquired experience in east-asian food was put to good use in making of this dumpling soup.

Recipe:

Ingredients: 3 cups of water, 1 green chilli, 1 tsp ginger, 1-2 cloves of garlic, 1 small tomato, 4-5 tender green beans, half tsp pepper and salt as per taste.

• Boil 3 cups of water. 
• In boiling water add thinly sliced green chilli, ginger, salt and pepper.
• Next add the beans and diced tomatoes
• Finally add frozen dumplings and let it boil for 20 minutes
