Categories     Sides     Soups

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 quarts chicken stock or broth
1 onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
4 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf
2 cups cooked chicken pieces
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
1 1/4 cups milk

Steps:

  • In a large stock pot, combine chicken stock or broth, onion, celery, carrots, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and the bay leaf. Simmer over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes, or until carrots and celery soften.
  • Add chicken to pot. Place a lid on the pot and continue to simmer for at least 15 minutes.
  • While the soup is simmering, make the dumpling dough. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, and egg. The dough should be a thick and pasty.
  • Bring soup to a boil. Drop a tablespoon of dumpling dough into the boiling soup.
  • After about 30 seconds, the dumpling should float to the surface, but it may become stuck under other ingredients. The dumpling should have formed a fluffy ball. If it formed strings, add more flour to the dough and try again.
  • Continue to drop tablespoons of dough into the boiling soup.
  • Place the lid on the pot. Simmer for at least ten minutes to allow dumplings to absorb flavors from the soup.

GRANDMA'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

This is one of my family's favorite recipes for chicken and dumplings, handed down to me from my grandmother. And the leftovers taste great, too!

Time 4h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup shortening
1 egg
½ cup milk
1 whole chicken
2 cubes chicken bouillon
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped carrots
1 small onion, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mix flour and shortening together in a bowl until it resembles cornmeal.
  • Slightly beat egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir to form a ball of dough. Place onto a floured surface; knead and roll as thin as possible using a floured rolling pin. Let dough stand for 2 hours.
  • Place chicken into a large pot and add water to just cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and continue to boil until chicken is no longer pink in the center and meat falls off of the bone, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from the pot; strain broth and return to the pot. Add 2 cups water and bouillon. Remove meat from bones and return to broth. Add celery, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut dough into strips, approximately 1-inch wide. Tear strips and drop into boiling broth. Continue to boil for 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
