Mexican Tomato-Bean Soup With Corn Dumplings image

I found this recipe in a cooking light magazine and thought it tasted great and was very simple to make. The only part that didn't work so well was getting my dumplings to cook as there wasn't a whole lot of liquid left after adding the beans and tomatoes. So, I am going to try adding just a little more vegetable broth or water next time so that my dumplings cook up better. I just really like the taste of this soup.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few extra tomatoes on hand, and this soup is a great way to use them up.
