This is a family favorite for those cold fall and winter nights. It is so warming and creamy. I usually make mine with more dumplings.

- The liquid will reduce by about one third.
- When the chicken has cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside.
- Strain the stock to remove all the vegetables and floating scum.
- you only want the stock and the chicken, so toss everything else out.
