Sausage Vegetable Soup With Dumplings image

This is a hearty soup with a little bit of heat. Not too much, just enough to give it a little bit of spicey heat. I was inspired by the flavor of a soup I tasted about 20 years ago in a restaurant when my father was in the hospital far from home. This restaurant had such good soup that my mother, sisters, and I went back 4 times in one week for dinner just so we could eat more of that wonderful soup! Serving suggestion: Since you are only using a portion of the pizza dough for the dumplings...you might make a foccacia bread with the remainder to serve with the soup.
