Winter is my preferred season for concocting soups using all kinds of earthy foods. One of my favourite winter vegetables is butternut squash. Although I'd never say no to a good squash or pumpkin soup, it is also nice to have an alternative. This chunky soup with herb dumplings is a great quick lunch or evening meal in the winter months, and one that is not only satisfying but healthy as well.
