The use of dumplings in cuisines around the world is ubiquitous as almost every culture has developed some sort of dumpling to accent its own unique cuisine. Even within Europe—primarily Germany, Romania, Austria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic—the basic ingredients of dumplings vary greatly. Most come down to pieces of dough created from a variety of starches, either added to a dish or wrapped around some sort of filling. In this recipe for chicken and dumplings soup, strips of dough are added to the other boiling ingredients to cook into soft dumplings.
