I'm really hoping someone can help me with this! I messed up the dumplings in my homemade chicken and dumpling soup last night, and I cannot for the life of me, figure out what I did wrong?! I've made this soup the same exact way every single time I've made it (at least 10 times) and I've not had a problem before.
Everything else about the soup was perfect; except for the fact that about half of my dumplings were ruined? I make pretty basic drop dumplings, and they all looked fine when the soup was done. This time though, about half of them came out very airy, almost spongey? Think wet bread disguised as a dumpling. And the other half was perfectly fine? I feel like I'm not explaining it 100% right so I've included a picture of both the normal dumpling (R) and the screwed up one (L). Again these came from the same pot of soup, and I don't know what I could have possibly done to do this?
