CHICKEN-AND-DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 6-quart pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, carrots, celery root, turnip, rutabaga, onion, diced fennel and a large pinch of salt; cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the wine, 6 cups water, fennel seeds, thyme and bay leaves; bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and simmer for 2 hours. Remove the chicken and let cool. Pick off the meat in shreds; set aside.
• About 15 minutes before the chicken has finished simmering, prepare the dumplings: Combine the milk, chicken fat, 1 tablespoon tarragon, the nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat; add the flour and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the liquid is absorbed. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, to make a thick dough.
• Bring the soup to a boil. Form the dough into eight dumplings (an ice cream scoop is perfect for this); drop into the soup. Cover and cook until the dumplings float to the surface, about 10 minutes.
• Add the chicken meat, parsley and the remaining 1 tablespoon tarragon to the soup; stir carefully and divide among warm bowls.

CAST-IRON CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• For the chicken and vegetable base: Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over direct heat. Melt the butter. Add the carrots, onions and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, coating the vegetables, and continue to cook for another minute. Whisk in the chicken stock, smoothing out any flour lumps. Simmer until the mixture begins to thicken, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dumplings: Melt the butter with the jalapeno if using and lime juice in a sauce pot over indirect heat, then let cool.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, celery seeds, salt and lime zest in a large bowl. Mix in the cheese.
• Slowly pour the melted butter mixture into the cold cream in a small bowl and mix together using a fork. (The butter will bead up as you mix.) Pour the butter-cream mixture into the flour mixture and bring together into a soft dough. Set aside.
• Finish the chicken and vegetable base: Add the chicken, peas and parsley to the skillet with the vegetables. Move the skillet over indirect heat and scoop the biscuit mixture on top, covering the surface of the pan. Cover the grill and cook until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• (Alternatively, you can make the sauce and melt the butter mixture on a stovetop, then bake the biscuits in a 375 degrees F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.)

CHICKEN SOUP WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Gently fry the onion in olive oil untill translucent
• Add crushed garlic, followed by vegetables and cook for a five minutes
• Pour the chicken stock, bring soup to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked
• Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients for the dumplings. You will end up with sticky batter.
• Rinse a teaspoon under cold water. It will help the batter to come off the spoon more easily.Dip a teaspoon of batter into the pot with simmering soup and let it fell off the spoon. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
• When the dumplings float to the top of the soup, simmer another minute until ready. Check seasoning with salt and pepper and serve sprinkled with herbs.

CHICKEN DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 tsp salt. Make a well in the center, and add the egg and egg yolk, beaten. Stir together until well incorporated. Add water, 1 Tbsp at a time, and stir until dough forms a ball. Turn onto a floured surface, and add flour as needed while kneading until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• In a stock pot, melt the butter, and add the celery, green onions and garlic. Cook and stir for several minutes on medium heat until celery begins to become translucent. Add the chicken, cook and stir about 5-10 minutes more, until chicken is cooked through. Add stock, ginger, parsley, dill and thyme, Simmer over medium heat while preparing noodles.
• Place chilled dough onto floured surface, sprinkle flour on top, and roll out to about 1/8 inch thickness (may need to add more flour as you go to keep rolling pin from sticking). Using a knife or a pizza cutter, slice dough into long strips, gently pick up strips and lay them on a dish towel to dry. After about 15-20 minutes, cut the strips into desired lengths. I prefer about 1 1/2-2 inches long. Place the noodles into the simmering stock. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until noodles are done. Add the peas, and cook an addition 5-10 minutes. If you desire a thicker soup, dissolve the 2 Tbsp cornstarch in warm water, and stir in to soup. Cook an additional 5 minutes.

LOW CALORIE YET DELICIOUS CHICKEN AND BABY DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• This recipe calls for poached chicken breasts, but I like to put 3 cups of water on the stove to simmer, and add my chicken to cook while I mix and chop everything else. Add salt, pepper, and anything else you like if you would like to use this simmering liquid as your chicken stock later. Otherwise, quickly poach the chicken and use the canned stock.
• While the chicken is cooking (and don't overdo it -- it's better to leave it slightly undercooked rather than overcooked at this stage). Prepare all of your veggies.chopping, quartering, etc.
• By the time the chopping is done, the chicken should be ready to come out of the pot (15 minutes or so -- I am a slow chopper though). Take it out and let it cool while proceed to the next step.
• Mix 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 cup chicken stock. Add the liquid slowly to avoid lumps.
• Heat 2-1/2 cups chicken stock, if it isn't hot already. Add all your chopped veggies and cover. Keep on medium heat.
• While the veggies are cooking a bit, start pulling your chicken breasts (or thighs) apart. It should be in chunky shreds when you are done with it. Discard any bones.
• Stir in the flour/stock mixture to the pot of broth and veggies. It will start to thicken.
• In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour with baking powder, parsley, poultry seasoning, and milk. Stir just enough to moisten.(Keep in mind, you can do this step at any point in the recipe. I do what ever it takes to save time).
• Add the chicken shreds to the stock.
• Use a wet teaspoon and scoop up little bits of the dough you made in step 9. Drop them gently into the simmering broth. Reduce heat, cover tightly, and let simmer for an additional 15 minutes. The little dough balls will puff up significantly during cooking.
• **Right before I serve this, I like to sprinkle generously with black pepper, but the original recipe doesn't call for this.
