Steps:
- For the soup: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook stirring until the shallots are well coated. Add the diced tomatoes and 1 teaspoon salt, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the tomatoes have softened about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup water and let sit until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the soup, gelatin and cream to a blender. Blend until smooth and pour in to a glass loaf pan. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- For the dough: Put the flour in a large bowl. Pour half the hot water in and stir with a wooden spoon. Add the remaining hot water and stir until the dough starts to look shaggy. Add all of the cold water and oil. Keep stirring until the dough forms a ball.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until soft, smooth and springs back when you poke it with your finger, 8 to 10 minutes. (Alternately, you can knead the dough in a stand mixer with the hook attachment, on medium speed for 6 to 8 minutes.) Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Take 1 piece (cover the remaining 3 pieces with plastic wrap) and cut it into 4 pieces. Work with 1 small piece of dough at a time, keep the remaining covered with plastic wrap. Roll the dough between your palms to make a round, smooth ball. Using a rolling pin, roll into a 4 1/2-to-5-inch circle. (You may need more flour to keep the dough from sticking but try to use it sparingly.)
- Fill the dough with 1 heaping tablespoon of tomato soup filling and then press 1 tomato half into it. Pleat the dumpling: Use your fingers to pleat and pinch the edge of the dough together, enclosing the filling, into a little satchel. Twist and pinch the tip of the dough close. Repeat with rest. Make sure that you cover any dough that you aren't currently using and cover the dumplings with a towel to prevent drying out.
- Fill a large pot with 2-inches of water and insert a steamer basket that has a lid. Line the basket with a single layer of Napa cabbage leaves. Cover and steam over medium heat to warm up the steamer and soften cabbage, about 2 minutes. Place dumplings on the cabbage leaves, leaving 1-inch between each dumpling. Steam until the dough looks slightly translucent and the dumplings have slumped slightly, about 12 minutes. Serve in the steamer.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large soup pot. Add onion and saute until translucent, 5-6 minutes.
- Add the peeled tomatoes. Cook until soft. Add tomato sauce and paste. Add 3 cups water and seasoning. Cook for 45 minutes.
- Let cool and blend. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add ½- 1 cup water to thin soup if desired.
- Bring soup back to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings. With a fork, whisk together eggs and oil, salt and pepper. Add ½ cup flour, adding more until you have a thick and runny batter. Don't add too much as you want it to still be runny. Drop teaspoons of batter into the boiling soup. They should drop right out of the teaspoon. Let dumplings cook for a few minutes and serve.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes instead.
- Roast the tomatoes before making the soup. This will concentrate their flavor and make the soup even more delicious. To roast the tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, or until they are slightly caramelized.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is made with real ingredients and that has a rich flavor.
- Add some herbs and spices to the soup. This will help to give it more flavor. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
- Make the herb dumplings ahead of time. This will save you time when you're ready to make the soup. You can store the dumplings in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will make a delicious and satisfying meal.
Conclusion:
Tomato soup with herb dumplings is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
