two dumplings sitting on top of a white plate

These are the dumplings I make to serve with Recipe #51453. I originally got the recipe from "The Grassroots Cookbook" and have used this many times. These are ugly looking,odd ball shaped flour dumplings but they taste great with the chicken recipe or with a hearty stew ladled on top. I usually serve 2 dumplings per bowl.

These are great with added flavours, such as garlic, herbs, seasoning salt, even chilli if you are making them to go with a spicy stew or soup…

This soup, in one form or another, makes a regular appearance on our dinner table. It's more a technique than a recipe; a means to make something comforting and nutritious while using up what we have on hand. The dumplings are an optional extra but they're like the icing on the cake. They transform a simple soup into a comfort food classic. There's a bonus at the end of this recipe too: I baked the left over dumpling dough into biscuits that I put into the freezer for another day. There's a…
