+ 2 Tbsp. chopped parsley
+ 3 bell peppers--red, orange, and

For the Wheat Dumplings:
+ 1 c. whole-wheat flour

What to do:
1. Make the Soup: In a large stockpot, warm the oil over moderate heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken, garlic, parsley, peppers, and 1 cup of water and cook for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and 11 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, make the Wheat Dumplings: In a large bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour, sea salt, and olive oil. Drizzle 1/4 c. water in slowly and knead for 2 minutes. Shape into small balls and flatten. Add to soup during its last 10 minutes of cooking and then serve.
