Dumplings:
3/4 cup all purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted

4 large garlic cloves, pressed
4 Turkish bay leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 pound andouille sausages, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
6 cups low-salt chicken broth
2 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes in juice
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

I'm not a big fan of cornmeal dumplings, but I really enjoyed them in this soup. They were light and fluffy and they didn't overpower the soup.

I've made this soup several times now and I always experiment with different types of sausage. I've used Italian sausage, chorizo, and even breakfast sausage. They all work great!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sausage. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, and onions.
