This low-fat soup is a real conversation piece.

Ingredients:

0.94 L strong reduced-sodium chicken stock or consomme

3 cup water

1 carrot, cut into very fine julienne strips

1/2 cup cooked wild rice

1 cup self-rising flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

1/4 cup water, extra

Directions:

Place chicken stock, 3 cups water and carrot in a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer.

In a bowl, combine rice, flour, baking powder, pepper and sufficient water to form a stiff dough.

Drop small teaspoons of rice dough into the soup in batches. Cover and steam for 10 minutes or until doubled in size.

Serve immediately.
