NOTES : Odyssey Family Restaurant is located at N82- W15380 Appleton Ave.,
Menomonee Falls. Featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 20, 1998
when a patron requested the recipe this soup. She wrote: The soup "has a
very rich and tasty broth and the dumplings are tender -- neither dry nor
mushy. It's the best I've had in a long time. I ordered a cup with lunch
and after tasting it I wished I would have ordered a bowl instead. With the
fresh bread the Odyssey has, it would have been a meal in itself." REF:
