2- Make the Dough:

3- Prepare the Soup:
- In a large pot, combine collard greens, rutabaga, chicken bouillon, citric acid, salt, black pepper, and water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer.
4- Stuff the Dumplings:
- Wet your hands and flatten each dough ball, creating a hollow in the center.
- Fill with cooled meat mixture and seal the edges to form a dumpling.
5- Cook the Dumplings:
- Carefully add the dumplings to the simmering soup.
- Cook for 30-40 minutes or until the dumplings are fully cooked.
