As others have noted, if you're not going to follow the recipe, don't downgrade the rating. If you mess it up, don't assume it's anyone else's fault! That said, this recipe is AWESOME! I added the sour cream as others suggested, but I think it would be equally delicious either way. My husband declared this the best soup ever, and I might agree - and I'm not even a mushroom soup fan. This dish is exceptionally good.

This review is for the dumplings, only. I did my own version of the chicken and vegetables. These dumplings are excellent! Do not expect fluffy, light dumplings and come on here complaining that these were not - we don't want to hear it! These are the old-fashioned cross between a noodle and a dumpling, and they taste just like Grandma used to make. I replaced the shortening with butter for an extra flavor boost, and found that you don't need to roll them out...just take 1" balls of dough and flatten them in your palm, then drop in the boiling liquid. Saves time and mess!

Excellent recipe! I recommend doubling the sauce and serving with garlic mashed potatoes, (just boil the whole garlic cloves with the potatoes), and adding fresh mushrooms to the sauce.
