With fall just around the corner, you'll soon be craving your favorite comfort foods like macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, meatloaf and chicken and dumplings.  Chili chicken soup with cilantro dumplings add a south of the border twist on this classic comfort food.  A quick and easy chicken soup is whipped together using store bought chicken broth, onions, chicken breast and chili powder.  Feel free to add any veggies that you have on hand to make this soup even heartier.  Soft and pillowy dumplings are studded with freshly chopped cilantro and jalapeno.  A dash of ground cumin adds warmth and a smoky flavor to each bite.
