  • 2cups white all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1Tbsp baking soda
  • 1 cup milk (or water )
  • 2 eggs
  • 1tsp dried parsley
  • extra water to thin is necessary
Instructions
  1. Add Olive Oil to large dutch oven/pot
  2. Add onion, carrots, celery, chicken salt and pepper to dutch oven. Cook chicken and saute veggies.
  3. Add 4-6cups of low sodium chicken broth
  4. Add bay leaves and fresh thyme. Simmer for min 30 min. If cooking longer, cook on low and cover to make sure liquid doesn't cook away. Or transfer to a crockpot...easy
  5. Dumplings:
  6. Put a large pot of water in the stove, bring to a hard bowl.
  7. Add/combine the dry ingredients to a large bowl. Also, combine milk and egg in seperate bowl. Use a fork or wire whisk to combine. Add Parsley, combine. Add extra water to thin if necessary.
  8. Using a teaspoon or tiny ice cream scooper, drop batter one at a time into the boil water. EAch dumpling will originally sink and then float to the top. Allow the dumplings to float/cook for at least 3-5min to ensure they are done. You will alternately add batter and remove cooked dumplings. Sounds complicated, but its really easy, trust me!
  9. Either add dumplings to soup or ladle soup over dumplings in a bowl.
  10. Enjoy!
