Ingredients

  • 1 (3 1/2) pound broiler-fryer chicken, cut up
  • 6 1/2 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 celery ribs, quartered
  • 1 medium carrot, quartered
  • 1 small onion, peeled
  • 4 whole peppercorns
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 2 whole allspice
  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen green beans
  • 1 (12 ounce) package frozen noodles
  • DUMPLINGS:
  • 2 medium potatoes, cooked and mashed (without added milk or butter)
  • 1 egg, beaten or egg substitute equivalent
  • 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. In a 5-qt. soup kettle, combine the first 10 ingredients. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 3 hours. Remove chicken; allow to cool. Strain broth, discarding vegetables and seasonings. Add enough water to make 8 cups; return to kettle. Debone chicken and cut into chunks; add to kettle with beans and noodles. Bring to a boil; cook for 20 minutes. For dumplings, mix potatoes, egg, cream, sugar and salt if desired in a medium bowl. Gradually add flour to make a stiff batter (it should form a peak when spoon is lifted). Drop by teaspoons into boiling soup. Cover and simmer for 3 minutes.
