Answer 2

3 to 3 1/2 lb. chicken

1 onion cut in half

2 celery ribs cut in 3 inch pieces

2 carrots cut in 3 inch pieces

Put the chicken in a 5-6 qt. pan and cover with water. Add vegetables. Cook about 30 minutes over medium heat until chicken is done. Remove chicken from pot and cool chicken. When chicken can be handled take the meat from the bones and add bones back to pot and cook 1/2 hour more over medium heat.

Prepare:

2 celery ribs diced

3 carrots diced

1 C. chopped onion

Strain stock and return to pan. Add 2 cups of water, chicken and prepared vegetables. Cook another 20-25 minutes until vegetables are cooked. Mix up dumplings.

Dumplings:

2 C. flour

1/2 t. salt

1/2 t. baking soda

2 eggs

2 T. sour cream

2 T. butter

Add butter, eggs, sour cream and salt. Mix well. Add flour and baking soda. If needed add milk to make dough the consistency of mashed potatoes. Do not overmix or dumplings will be tough.

When vegetables are cooked in broth, bring to a boil and add dumplings. Use a teaspoon, they should be quite small. Add all the dumpling mix and cook another 15 minutes.

Thicken soup with a roux:

4 T. flour

6 T. water

Cook 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Answer 5

This is my grandmothers recipe. The original has homemade dumplings but my kids and husband like the biscuits better. You can cook it on top the stove. Reduce cooking time to 1 1/2 -2 hours. You can leave the skin on it you want but it's healthier without it.

Chicken and Dumplings

1 whole chicken (most of the skin removed)
1 bay leaf
2 tsp garlic salt
6 black peppercorns
6 cups of water
1 cup baby carrots
1 package refrigerator biscuits (10 – 12)

Place chicken in crock pot and add everything except carrots. Cook on low for about 8-10 hours. Remove chicken, and de-bone. Remove peppercorns and bay leaf. Pour broth into large pot on stove and heat until boiling. Add carrots and cook for 30 minutes. Thicken broth with cornstarch or flour mixed with cold water. Tear refrigerator biscuits into 3-4 pieces each and drop into boiling broth, lower heat and cover. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until biscuits puff up. Add chicken and carrots, stir, and serve.

1. Place chicken, water, bouillon cubes, peppercorns and cloves in an 8 quart Dutch oven or soup kettle.
2. Cover and bring to boil; skim fat.
3. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours or chicken is tender.
4. Strain broth and return to kettle.
5. When chicken is cool to touch; debone and cut into bite sized chunks.
6. Return chicken to kettle and add cans of soup, vegetables and seasonings; bring to boil.
7. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour.
8. Uncover and increase heat to a gentle boil.
9. Remove bay leaf.
10. For dumplings, combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
11. Stir in egg, butter and enough milk to make a moist stiff batter.

13. Cover and cook (don't peek) for 18-20 minutes.
14. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
15. NOTE: It states in the recipe 10-12 servings, I serve bigger bowls, so it probably serves 6-8.
16. I also use a little less seasoned salt due to the salt content of both cans of soup.

My mom used to make this recipe for us growing up. Now I make it for my family and they all love it! It's simple yet delicious! Enjoy!



INGREDIENTS
6 boneless chicken thighs
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of celery soup
salt and pepper to taste
1 (12 ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough
DIRECTIONS
In a large pot over high heat, combine the chicken with enough water to cover, and boil for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain some of the water from the pot, reserving 3 cups in the pot. Remove chicken and allow it to cool, then pull it apart into bite size pieces; return to pot.
Reduce heat to medium, and add the cans of condensed soup. Season with salt and pepper. Pull the biscuit dough into pieces, and add to the soup. Simmer over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through.
