Chicken Dumpling Soup

Making chicken dumpling soup is very easy and so good!!  The first thing to do is get your chicken stock and the extra bone-in chicken breasts that you cooked when you made your chicken salad.  If you didn't debone and skin the breasts already you need to do that and cut them into chunks.  Place the stock into a large pot and bring to a boil.  Now to make the dumplings.  You will need a ratio of 1 cup of flour, 1 egg and 1/2 cup milk.  (With this ratio, you can make as many dumplings you need to make any amount of soup.)  Mix together until well blended.  Using 2 spoons, scoop dumpling mix with one spoon, then using 2nd spoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon mix into boiling broth.  Bring broth back up to boiling, stirring gently, being careful not to break up the dumplings.  Turn heat to low and cook until dumplings are done.  It is best if you can simmer the soup for a couple of hours, or put into a slow cooker on high for about 4 hours so the flavors can blend.  Enjoy!!
