This soup was super easy to make. I did not have time to make in the crock pot so I made it on top of the stove. I threw in a handful of barley, so it took about 45 minutes to cook. When I went to make the dumplings I found I was out of cornmeal, so sadly I had to pass on that part. Thanks for a good hearty soup recipe. -
So good! The dumplings are a really nice touch. I did this on the stove top, which took about an hour all together. I was out of carrots, but I'll add them next time. I used a fresh jalapeno instead of the canned chiles. We served it with sour cream and cheddar. Thanks for posting!

Good hearty soup! Plus so easy to make since it's all done in the crockpot. Although I do have to say, we think it makes more than 4 servings! I added some cumin as well as the 2 tsp. chili powder and used jalapenos in place of the green chilies. We served with cheese on top and I ate some with tortilla chips. It's a good easy to make dish perfect for a weekday meal! Thanks so much for posting!

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
