My mother used to make Zōsui to finish off bits and pieces of leftover Vegetables and Cooked Rice. To make this soup even more filling, she often added some dumplings which I loved. Mochi is also very nice in this soup but they are not available always, so she made simple wheat flour-base dumplings. This soup will keep you warm on a cold day.

Dumpling Ingredients
1/2 cup Plain Flour

*Instead of the dumplings, Gnocchi would go very well with this dish.
