This sounded so good and to me that is part of what makes a good cook if you can look at a reipe and tell if it's good. Well, I lost out on this one. The soupy part was good, but the chicken dumplings were not. The texture is what was so bad. I didn't like the tarragon flavor in this recipe, though I like tarragon. The dumplings were too soft to work with and the recipe as a whole was very time consuming. What we didn't eat, we froze. We will probably discard the dumplings and replace them with oysters....my husband's suggestion. Anyway, sorry SILVANUS, but I have to give a thumbs down on this one. I will not try this again.

My husband & I loved this soup.I did not add tarragon or parsley.I only added 1cup of chicken to the dumpling mixture but added 1tsp. baking powder & 1/2 cup of extra flour because the dough was too runny. We loved the dumplings because we like them heavy.I also sprinkled fresh chopped green onions on top.

The dumplings turned out great for my family. Even my wife ate them and she said she did not like dumplings.

Rich and flavorful. I couldn't stop eating it. One WARNING--it's extreemly difficult to get the dumplings to form. I finally gave up and added the dumpling mixture to the soup which created a very rich broth. Also, I did NOT put chicken in the dumpling mixture and put it in the soup instead.

This soup was outstanding! I made it for my friend and I (she loves dumpling soup). I made a few changes though. First, I didnt put everything in a food processor, just the meat (I actually used left over turkey) to make it fine and crumbly. I beat the egg and mixed into the turkey along with the flour and the other ingredients. I ommited Tarragon because I didnt have any. Also, I boiled the turkey carcus in the chicken broth for a good hour to make a more flavorful stock. This dish was SOOO good. The dumplings were perfect. Although, some reviewers said they were too mushy...I added extra flour to mine and the texture was perfect. Worth the work. YUM!

This recipe is pretty great, although I tweaked it a bit based on what was (or was not) in my fridge. As recommended by another reviewer, I added potatoes to this and simmered them with the celery and onions. Because I didn't have enough carrots, I added about a cup of mushrooms to the recipe as well. I also didn't put the chicken into the dumplings and as a result, had to add a little extra flour to bring the dumplings to the proper consistency. Finally, at the very end of the entire cooking process, I added a 1/4 cup of light cream and a tablespoon for fresh lemon juice just to freshen it up a bit and make the soup even more substantial. It was AWESOME. Will totally make it again...

I thought that everything about this soup was delicious. Easy to make, and when the batch was gone, my husband wanted me to make another batch the same day!!

I used this soup recipe as a base for a lighter version of chicken and dumplings. I also put a couple of diced potatoes in for hubby. I found at the end it needed a little something, more salt and some cajun seasoning. I liked the addition of all the veggies and the lighter broth.

Very good flavorings. I changed the recipe a bit, though. I used reduced sodium chicken stock (and omitted the salt), added a couple of bay leaves (take out before serving), and instead of the dumplings, I put the chicken in the soup and used a tube of (reduced fat) refrigerator buscits (Pilsbury, etc), quartered. It was a big hit with my family.

Delicious, but difficult. The dumplings were pretty mushy for me, and fell apart during cooking, making the cooking liquid very thick. Still made for a delicious soup, though, and I will definitely try it again, hopefully with prettier results.
