Fast Soup (and dumplings)

I love soup. This recipe makes it to our rotation at least once a week. Super-fast, semi-healthy, cheap comfort food

Ingredients

4 c chicken stock
1/2 lb pasta (we find that whole wheat noodles work well)
2-4 eggs
4-6 dumplings
Veggies that you have lying around (frozen carrots and peas work well)
hoisin sauce
rice vinegar
s & p

Method:

Heat chicken stock and an equal amount of water to boil in  4 qt pot. Add eggs and dumplings. When the eggs are solid and dumplings float, add the pasta, salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 minutes more. Add veggies. When veggies are cooked thru serve, with a squirt of hoisin and rice vinegar in the bottom of each bowl. nomnomnom

Note: this recipe works well without dumplings.
