This soup is a traditional vegetable soup with a little extra. I added homemade dumplings like my mom use to make for me. She made her soup with all the leftover vegetables in the refrigerator and then added dumplings. Good vegetarian soup without the meat.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, potatoes, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will make your soup mushy.
Use a good quality rice. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a rice that is long-grain and has a good texture.
Season your soup to taste. This means adding salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices that you like. Be careful not to overseason your soup, or it will be too salty.
Serve your soup with a variety of toppings. This could include things like shredded cheese, sour cream, croutons, or chopped parsley. This will add extra flavor and texture to your soup.
