Vegan Chicken And Dumpling Soup Food

VEGAN "CHICKEN" AND DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• Put Celery in pot with some of the vegetable broth and cook until the celery is tender.
• Add garlic and pepper and soy or Braggs as well as the rest of the broth.
• Add the Carrots and fake Chicken.
• Bring to a boil.
• Add the dumplings a Tbsp at a time until the mixture is gone.
• Reduce heat and simmer, stir slowly often and let cook for 20 minutes.
• Note: you may need to add more or less of the soymilk. You want to make a soft dough for the dumplings.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• Start out by putting together the dough for your dumplings. Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Then slowly add in your ice water. Keep adding it in until you have enough to form a nice dough ball. Knead your dough for about 5 minutes and then set it the side and let it rest while you work on the other end of the soup.
• In a large pot add together your stock, chicken, carrots, celery, garlic, basil, oregano, and celery salt. Heat it up on medium heat and let the chicken cook through. When the chicken is cooked, remove it and set it to the side.
• Now grab up your dough and roll it out about 1/4" thick with your rolling pin. Cut it into small squares and place them in your hot broth. As they cook up, they will rise to the top of the broth.
• While your dumplings are cooking, go ahead and shred your chicken up. Add it to your soup. Last but not least, add in the half and half and give it a couple swirls around the pan to incorporate everything together.

VEGGIE DUMPLING SOUP (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Heat oil; add onion, leek, bay leaf, thyme, and parsley.
• Cook on a low setting for 10 to 12 minutes until soft and translucent.
• Bring up the heat to medium or medium-high.
• Add the carrots, celery, and garlic.
• Stir occasionally until carrots are done or mostly done, 10 minutes or so. When vegetables are cooked, stir in the nutritional yeast flakes; they will get creamy with the veggies and oil.
• Add 8 cups water (2 quarts), and salt.
• Cover and bring to a boil.
• While water is coming up to a boil (it will do so quickly!) put the dumplings together.
• DUMPLINGS:.
• Mix wet in one bowl, dry in another. Pour wet into dry and combine until a heavy dough forms.
• Knead on lightly floured surface for 1 minute. If dough is sticky add a bit more flour until it is fairly dry.
• Let dough rest 5 minutes.
• Roll out to 1/8" thickness and cut into 2 x 1" strips (or whatever size you find easy to work with though they'll take a lot longer to cook if they are bigger).
• Drop into boiling broth; cover and simmer 20 to 35 minutes.
• 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.

VEGETARIAN CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
