This was delicious. We ended up almost doubling the amount of water, and it was still very thick. I recommend using bone-in chicken as the stock was fantastic. The celery could also use a shorter cook time. Thanks for posting!

The flavor wasn't the problem, it was the amount of water called for. I was so bummed by the time this soup was done cooking because of the way it turned out. I read the reviews about adding extra water and so was aware of that but the soup was still so thick that it ended up being a pot of mush (with no liquid). If you make this soup make sure your pot is filled at least half way to the top with water or broth.

This was delicious. Use extra water or this recipe becomes very thick after all of that simmering. I also cut up 3 medium carrots and added them to the celery. Yum!

This was a great template for the dish overall. I changed the proportions, especially the liquid- I thought it needed about twice as much and I used stock rather than water. I also used half & half rather than heavy cream because it's what I had on hand. This makes A LOT of dumplings, which is fine by me, but it should be noted that this would serve more than 6 people; perhaps ten The flavor was very good and I'm happy there were no added oils.

This was pretty good. I cut this in half, and didn't measure the water, just covered the chicken with it. I probably used about double of what was called for, though. I didn't have any sage, so I used poultry seasoning instead, and I used carrots in place of the celery. I added a drained can of corn with the chicken and parsley, and I felt it added a lot. I tasted the broth after it was almost done, and I felt like it was a little bland and needed more salt, so I used some chicken bouillon to add more chicken flavor. We really enjoyed this, but I felt the smaller dumplings were better than the large ones. They soaked up more flavor. Next time i will make them all smaller, maybe 1 inch instead of 1 1/2.

I used this recipe for the basis of my chicken & dumplings this evening. I had some roast chicken left over after I made a quite sizable bowl of chicken salad along with the carcass. So I got chicken broth and set the chicken parts and bits to simmer. I added onion, celery and a small can of drained corn, after fishing the chicken out of the broth, along with the recipe spices and a few extras. While that simmered I made the dumplings with canned biscuits that I rolled out thin, cut into squares, and threw in the pot when the veggies were soft, in small batches. What I've learned about dumplings is that you NEVER put the top on, at least while they're forming. My dumplings turned out great altho I don't think I put enough of them in the broth, so that will be for next time. Except that it was peppery, my favorite spice, these chicken & dumplings came out better than I thought the would.

We just had this for dinner tonight and it was outstanding! The closest recipe to my moms I have ever made- and my mom is an excellent cook...it's just hard to get recipes from her because she doesn't measure anything :) This is the easiest dough for dumplings I've tried, almost impossible to mess up. This ones going in the recipe box and will be repeated for sure. Thanks for sharing!
