Jeans Secret Chicken and Dumplings

Chicken and Dumplings

Saute in Olive Oil

1/2 large onion, chopped
3 stalks celery with leaves, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped (I like more carrots)

Saute until onions are translucent.

Add 8 cups of Chicken Stock..

* SECRET INGREDIENT: She uses "Better than Bouillon Chicken Soup Base" from Costco. It is organic and in a glass jar.. if you can find it, USE IT! 1 tsp bouillon per 1 cup water. Mix together and add to soup.

Add the Chicken of ONE COSTCO CHICKEN! (Hey, if you are going to get the bouillon, get the chicken too!) She adds the legs, and some skin, but not much, and as much meat as you can get off the roasted chicken.

Simmer on low for 1-2 hours if you have the time.

Take leg bones out.

ADD:

2 tsp. dill
2 tsp. poultry seasoning
salt and pepper to taste

ADD:

Two hand fulls of egg noodles. ** SECRET INGREDIENT: Use Country Pasta Egg Noodles Homemade Style (Also from Costco)


At this point, you can call it chicken soup and after your noodles cook, serve it up.

3 cups Bisquick
1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Combine until wet. If it is not wet enough, add enough so the mixture is wet enough to dollop.
Drop dumplings on the soup and cook for 10 minutes uncovered and 10 minutes covered.

This sounds delish.... Thanks to the awesome Stewart girls for their blog!
