Due the recent uptick in forum threads on chicken soup.
I made chicken soup!
A six lb chicken, roasted, pulled off the bone, chopped. Chicken broth made previously from chicken skin, bones, seasonings, mushrooms, carrots, onions, celery, oregano, basil, sage, s&p, dash of lemon juice at the end.
then I made these stuffed 'dumplings'. They might have a name in some ethic cooking culture, and I'd be happy to have a name for these big lugs.
Filling, 1/3 cup each of cooked bacon pieces, caramelized onions, and cheese spread (cheddar, colby, cream cheese). I put small balls of this filling inside.
The outside of the dumpling was a basic dumpling dough of flour, eggs, baking powder, salt, sage, and then a good amount of potato flakes, all moistened with cool water.
The dumplings were a little bigger than golf balls, cooked in the chicken soup. DH was very pleased.
