Chicken Veggie Noodle And Dumpling Soup With Flavor Food

CHICKEN-VEGETABLE SOUP WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan, heat all ingredients except Bisquick mix and milk to boiling, stirring occasionally.
• In small bowl, stir Bisquick mix and milk with fork until soft dough forms. Drop dough by 18 teaspoonfuls onto boiling soup. If dumplings sink into soup, carefully bring them to top of broth using slotted spoon. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Cook uncovered 10 minutes. Cover and cook 15 minutes longer.

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots, onions, salt, pepper and thyme. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables start to soften. Add the chicken broth and chicken (if using uncooked chicken). Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is just cooked through and/or veggies are tender. Remove the chicken to a plate and cut into small pieces.
• In a small bowl (or blender), combine the 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup flour until smooth. Whisking vigorously, slowly add the flour mixture into the hot broth and stir until well combined. Stir in the frozen peas and cooked chicken and bring the soup back to a simmer.
• For the dumplings, in a medium bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Add the sour cream, milk and oil. Stir just until combined (don't overmix).
• Drop teaspoon-sized amounts (the dumplings should be fairly small, they'll expand while cooking) of dumpling dough into the boiling soup, covering the entire surface of the soup. I use a #60 small cookie scoop. Cover the pot and simmer the soup and dumplings for 12-15 minutes. Do not lift the lid of the pot while the dumplings cook! Add time if the dumplings haven't cooked all the way (or if they are bigger in size than teaspoon-sized portions).
• When the dumplings have cooked fully, remove the lid and gently stir the dumplings to break them apart, if needed. Serve.

HOMEMADE CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large sauce pot, heat the olive oil. Season the chicken with Creole seasoning. When the oil is hot, add the chicken, bones, and carcass and saute for about 5 minutes, or until the meat and bones are brown. Remove the bones and carcass. Add the onions, celery, carrots, green onions, garlic, parsley, basil, and bay leaves. Season with Creole seasoning. Saute the vegetables for 4 minutes. Add the chopped vegetables, spinach, and crushed red pepper and saute for 1 minute. Add the stock and bring the liquid to a boil. Add the pasta. Reduce the heat to a simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Reseason if necessary. Serve hot. Ladle the soup into thermoses and seal tightly with the lid. Place a spoonful of the parsley into each bag and seal completely.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

CHICKEN, VEGGIE, NOODLE, AND DUMPLING SOUP WITH FLAVOR

Steps:

• Place chicken in 7 Quart pot fill with water, leaving about an inch from the top of the pot (don't want it to over flow while it cooks.).
• Add the ingredients from the Chicken and Seasoning Section immediately after you have done the above step. NOTE: I like to crush up the parsley flakes and oregano in my hand over the pot after I've measured it. You don't have to, it's just something that I did. As for the garlic clove, either use a garlic press or mince finely as it will not be removed from the soup. This is so that you will have flavorful chicken and will be the start of the tasty broth.
• Cook on a medium heat for at least an hour and a half to two hours, especially if frozen. I choose to use the chicken with skin and the one bone because it always seems to come out most tender and give the broth extra flavor. But if you use boneless skinless thighs or breasts that's entirely up to you, but I can't guarantee that it will turn out the same. At this time you want to prepare your carrots and slice them up so that you can just dump them in the pot in the next step to save you some time.
• When the chicken has been cooked through, using tongs carefully remove the chicken and set on a plate. Then fish out the bay leaves, it will be easier to this now rather than later when you have lots of other goodies in your pot. And dump in the sliced baby carrots now as they are more of a hard vegetable and will take probably the most time to cook.
• Using tongs and a knife set a piece of chicken on your cutting board and carefully remove the skin, bone, and any cartilage from the chicken. You want to do this while it's still hot as you're going to toss it back into the pot and don't want it to cool down too much.
• Chop into big chunks and put back in the soup pot, you don't want them to be too small or they will fall apart and shred. I like my soups hearty so I do big chunks, but make this soup as you desire.
• Wash your cutting board and knife, then wash (peel if you like), quarter and chop potatoes into bite size pieces not too thick and not too thin. Put into pot and do the same to your squash, you can do half of a yellow one and half of a green one if you want. Pick whatever veggies you want and keep in mind that if they're soft veggies like squash they will cook quickly and will need to be added to the end of the soup rather than at the beginning.
• If you choose to put pasta in I would do this immediately after the last veggie is tossed in to help it cook up, I would probably only put half a bag of the pasta in as it swells up and will steal a lot of the broth. Or you could cook it in another pot and add it to the soup when it is cooked. It's up to you. I cooked mine with my soup and it stole all of the broth not leaving me very much broth. It was still tasty though and no one cared that the broth was missing.
• If you chose to add the pasta, once you have added it to your soup or started it in a different pot I would recommend getting the dumpling mixture ready.
• I doubled my mom's dumpling recipe as there never seems to be enough to go around. It makes around 12 -15 dumplings. Feel free to scale back if that's too much. Simply take all of the ingredients for the dumplings and put in a bowl and mix throughly. You should have a tacky ball of dough. If it's too dry either add a splash of milk, or more of the broth from the soup.
• Gently drop golf ball size or slightly larger pieces of tacky dough into the soup to allow to cook. They cook for about 5 to 10 minutes before completely done. DO NOT cover with a lid while they are cooking or you'll have a very moist looking dumpling which for me was always harder to tell if it was cooked all the way or not. Better to leave uncovered. When the dumplings are cooked turn off the flame and serve with your favorite crackers.
• NOTE: I used Casarecce Pasta which is not recognized by this site. It's a partially rolled long pasta pieces. But use whatever pasta that you prefer for this type of soup or none at all if you wish.

• The non-egg version needed to cook longer than my original version, but I'm also high altitude. Taste for doneness. They'll seem mealy if they're not done yet. When done they are sort of like thick noodles or a biscuit or something. Yummy and hearty. If in doubt, let them cook another 5 minutes and taste again.
