Ingredients

    Soup:
    Water 16 cups
    Potatoes 2 medium, cubed
    Red Bell Pepper, half
    Celery, raw, 0.5 cup, diced
    Cauliflower, raw, 1 cup
    1 med yellow onion
    Carrots, raw, 1 cup, chopped
    Spinach, fresh, 2 cups
    Salt, pepper, parsley
    Garlic 1 TBsp

    Chicken meatballs:
    Ground chicken breast,, 2 Lb
    Egg white from 1 large egg
    Dill fresh 1.5 Tbsp
    1 med yellow onion chopped

    Dumpling batter:
    Milk, nonfat (skim milk), 0.5 cup
    Whole Wheat Flour, 1.5 cup
    Egg white from 2 eggs
    1 tsp salt
    Dill 1.5 Tbsp

Directions

1. Please big pot with water to boil.
2. Mix ground chicken breast, 1 egg white, chopped onion, dill, salt, pepper.
3. When the water is boiling drop small portions (about 1 Tbsp) of chicken mix in the boiling water. Boil until all the meatballs are floating.
4. Remove chicken balls from the water and discard the water. I only doing it because of diet, trying to get it as lean as possible. If you wish to keep the broth then use it as your soup base. Make sure you have enough (about 16 cups).
5. Cut onion and fry it on olive oil until golden color. Add shredded carrots and fry until crispy.
6. Meanwhile cut the rest of the veggies.
7. Dumplings:
-- whip egg whites with salt until frothy
-- add milk, flour and dill
-- mix just until all incorporated, do not overmix.
8. Boil 16 cups of water (or broth)
9. Add potatoes and cook for about 5-7 min.
10. Add all the meatballs, and all the prepared veggies, except garlic and spinach.
11. Take dumplings batter and scoop with teaspoon portions to the boiling soup until all used.
12. Add garlic, spinach and spices as desired.
