Itsy Bitsy Foodies

Chicken noodle soup is a quintessential comfort food, at least when you are feeling under the weather.  This family recipe for chicken dumpling soup {one of my grandmother-in-law’s specialties} is as soothing and satisfying, especially for the recent stormy winter nights.  Simply add the dumplings in any broth-based chicken soup.

I prefer using homemade chicken broth when I have it but canned low-sodium broth works as well.  When I use homemade broth, I don’t add water, simply adding broth if more liquid is necessary.  When I use canned broth, I add the water indicated in the recipe.  Season the soup to taste.

Dumplings come in many forms and there are many countries and cuisines that have some form of chicken dumpling soup.  From what I can tell, these dumplings most resemble those found in Hungary and Poland.
