Into vigorously boiling soup, drop in the dumplings, in roughly 1/4 c. amounts, and not on top of each other, i.e. drop each one into a different part of the pan. It will make about 18 dumplings. Initially the dumplings will sink, and after a minute or two will float as they continue to cook. After all dumplings have been dropped in, cover the pan and steam for about 8-10 minutes.
