I made this soup for my daughter who wasn't feeling well but the whole family absolutely loved it! I will be using this recipe again and again.

I love this recipe!, Instead of chopping fresh veggies I added a package of mixed frozen veggies.

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!!

Needed more broth but good recipe.

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.

I made the soup, All turned out not to good, The recipe needs to be looked at again, Like the wording, It's pretty bad.

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.

This took a little while to make, but well worth it!

A little to much onion for us

excellent soup. very similar to my mom's southern chicken n dumplings meal. I made no changes to this recipe and would make it again.

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.

Complex recipe. Good flavor

Awesome soup. Rich and flavorful enough to serve at a dinner party like I did. Family loved it. I had problems with the dumplings not all taking shape. It might have been me. Pro portions of ingredients is perfect.

This was the best chicken dumpling soup I have ever tasted. It had lots of flavor, We loved it, it was well worth the work. Thank you Letha!

We loved this recipe. I didn't like the chicken in the dumplings. I think they taste better without it. I have made this for family and friends and everyone loved it.

Dumplings taste a little dry, and I thought at first I had just made them wrong, but it's because there's chicken actually IN the dumplings. It seemed like an interesting idea, but I think I'd prefer regular dumplings. And, there were LOTS of steps to make it. But, it tastes good!

Even though this recipe took a long time to make, it was definately worth it. The spices make flavor of the soup so delicious!(Although I wouldn't suggest using a blender because I had to purchase a new one after making this. I also wouldn't suggest that you hang on to the left overs very long due to the fact that the tarragon permeates the entire soup after only a few days.)
