Absolutely. This is a great make ahead meal for those busy weeknights. Follow the steps to make the steps and stop before making and adding the dumplings. You can make the soup up to 2-3 days ahead of time stored in an airtight container in the fridge. You can also use the same method to freeze the soup, just make sure you allow the soup to cool completely before transferring to a freezer safe container. When ready to eat make sure the soup is thawed if frozen, and finish with the steps to make dumplings.
