Ham Soup and Cornmeal Dumplings image

This was a favorite of my dad. I have tried to remember how my mother made them, but my cornmeal dumplings are not as tender as hers. Sure wish I had spent more time in the kitchen with her when I had a chance. It is a great way for using up leftover ham.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out too watery. The dumplings were also a bit too dense.
