My Estonian great-grandmother used to make a milk broth with dumplings in it-- we call it glimpi or klimpi soup. Can you tell me if that's a real Estonian word and how to spell it?

This sounds so good! How do you make the dumplings though? What do you put inside? I'd love to know the recipe for a classic Estonian dumpling. I'll be living in Tartu for 2 years so want learn how to use all these delicious veggies. Thanks in advance!

@Brilynne - yes, klimbisupp is a real word! Klimbid are Estonian dumplings.
