Chicken And Dumplings

I am sharing the dumpling recipe that serves our family perfectly, at this time. Dumplings are always best the first time they are served. I try not to make extras because they are not our favorite reheated as leftovers. 

I am not including the chicken soup part of the recipe. Make a basic chicken soup with  your choice of vegetables and seasoned as you like. Once the soup is made and has reached a simmer the dumplings come into play. Whip up a batch of the dumpling dough and cook them on the surface of your simmering soup.

This is a very comforting meal on cool nights. Especially at this time of year!
