| | Soups, Stews & Chili | | Homemade Chicken & Dumplings (print) | | Provided By: Katie | | Description: Use leftover homemade chicken soup to create a whole new meal | | Ingredients | | | Directions | So I always keep my carrots and onions in my soup because everyone in my house likes them.
When I make the soup I always pull out the chicken breasts and freeze them, before throwing away the rest of the carcass. I use it in enchiladas, chicken stuffed shells, etc later, so I just pulled that baggie back out of the freezer and literally let it thaw in my soup.
I basically scooped out all the baby carrots and cut them all into smaller bite size pieces and put them back in. I added one can of cream of chicken soup and roughly 1c heavy whipping cream to it. A little bit of parsley, pepper, garlic salt, and a pinch of celery seed.
I made homemade rolled out dumplings with 2.5c of flour, 1/2c cornmeal, 1 egg, 1 cup milk, 1t. salt. Mixed with my hands into a dough, rolled out thin in chunks onto a super floury surface (the excess flour is what thickened up my soup), used a pizza cutter to make them into roughly 1-1.5 in squares and put them into the simmering soup stirring continuously. Once they were all in and puffing up I turned off the heat and that's literally all I did | | Notes | | |
