I was excited to try this recipe, but it just ended up frustrating me. I followed it exactly, but there were some missing steps. First of all, it says no where in the recipe when to use the chicken broth. I ended up putting it in, in the beginning. Also, the dumpling recipe didn't work at all. I ended up with a soupy, pancake consistency. I had to add more mix until I could make it into "balls". The recipe didn't say what size balls, and once I dropped them in they poofed up so much that they overtook the meal. I ended up adding some flour to thicken the soup up as well as some cream, plus a lot more seasonings. It was thin and bland. In the end it was OK, but not worth the fuss. My main problem with this recipe is the poor directions. Won't make it again.

This soup turned out fabulous. Most likely the best dish that I have ever made. I added a few extra cups of water and that was the only change, amazing!

I gave this a four star because it needs some modifications. Much easier to use boneless skinless chicken breasts, simmer in 1 inch water until done. Or cook the whole chicken seperately and add the meat, rather than trying to debone the meat after the whole thing is made. Needs more water broth also. Mine became very dry. Used 4 chicken bouillion cubes and 5 cups water and was still too dry. Didn't use can of broth however. Made without the tomatoes and pepper and instead added frozen peas, personal preference. The dumplings were absolutely delicious though. Very very very satisfying. Don't think the left overs will last very long.

This was excellent! I used four thighs and did not use tomatoes or bell pepper. Added frozen peas at the end. YUMMY!!!

Made it according to directions and it was fabulous.Was even better the next day.

AWESOME! In the past, my husband has complained that the chicken & dumplings were bland, but these were very flavorful! I followed the recipe exactly but to save time, I used canned bisquit dough. I will make this one again and again!

fabulous. Only change I made was I made rolled out dumplings...yum!

Fantastic! Other than reversing the order of steps - I took out the chicken and separated the meat from the bones before I added the dumplings - it was wonderful. Terrific comfort food.

This is a great recipe! We loved it! Thank you so much for sharing this. I am always heavy handed with spices and so I increased those quite a bit and next time will cook in a pot with a wider opening to accomodate more dumplings.

Very tasty and hearty dish. The seasoning amount in the recipe seemed very low so I incresed the thyme and rub, I imagine it might have been a little bland otherwise. I wasn't too crazy about the green peppers, I'll make it again with peas instead. Like others noted I removed the chicken and cut up, returned to pot before dropping in the dumplings. It would have been incredibly messy to try to do it after. Next time I'll reduce the amount of time to cook the veggies too, they were a little mushy.

Very good. May be a little heavy on the celery. Will try again for sure!

We love this on a cold night. OUTSTANDING!!! Thanks for sharing!

Have made this a couple times, delicious

This recipe was great and my family loved it! Thanks for sharing!

This was terrific! My only complaint is there wasn't enough. I didn't have any sage or thyme, but I'm sure that would just make it more tasty.

Family loved it. Husband would have preferred rolled dumplings (thicker), but it was delicious. We too excluded the green pepper and it was a hit!

Ok, my husband liked it, but it was nothing special.
