CHICKEN AND DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• Start out by putting together the dough for your dumplings. Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Then slowly add in your ice water. Keep adding it in until you have enough to form a nice dough ball. Knead your dough for about 5 minutes and then set it the side and let it rest while you work on the other end of the soup.
• In a large pot add together your stock, chicken, carrots, celery, garlic, basil, oregano, and celery salt. Heat it up on medium heat and let the chicken cook through. When the chicken is cooked, remove it and set it to the side.
• Now grab up your dough and roll it out about 1/4" thick with your rolling pin. Cut it into small squares and place them in your hot broth. As they cook up, they will rise to the top of the broth.
• While your dumplings are cooking, go ahead and shred your chicken up. Add it to your soup. Last but not least, add in the half and half and give it a couple swirls around the pan to incorporate everything together.

CREAMY CHICKEN ORZO SOUP

Steps:

• Get all the prep done before you start cooking: mince the garlic, finely chop the onion, peel and thinly slice the carrots.
• Heat oil and butter in a large pot over medium. Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes, until soft. Stir in spices, cook until fragrant, for 1 minute. Add in carrots and the chicken fillets.
• Pour in broth, add soy sauce and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover and lower the heat. Simmer for 15 minutes.
• When ready, remove the chicken fillets and place onto a clean plate. Add cream, lemon juice and orzo. Stir, cover, bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the orzo is al dente.
• In the meantime, shred the chicken using two forks. Hold a fork in each hand, and use them to pull the meat apart.
• When ready, return chicken to the pot. Add spinach, stir and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Taste, and adjust salt. Finish off with freshly ground black pepper and red pepper flakes. Serve!

CHICKEN AND DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• For the soup stock: Combine the chicken, peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic, thyme, carrot chunks, celery chunks, quartered onion, parsnip chunks, 3 sprigs dill and 3 sprigs parsley in a large pot. Add cold water to cover by 2 inches (about 5 quarts). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is very tender, for at least 1 1/2 hours (or up to 2 hours if you have the time. The longer the better!) Add more water, as needed, skimming off scum (there won't be much) and, if desired, some fat.
• Carefully strain the stock, discarding everything except for the chicken. (You should have 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 quarts of stock.) Set the chicken aside to cool briefly while you put together the rest of the soup. Return the strained stock to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Add the sliced carrot, sliced celery, chopped onion, sliced parsnip, chopped dill, chopped parsley and the salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings: In a small saucepan, bring the butter and 3/4 cup water to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour. Let cool for a few minutes so it's not so hot that it will cook the eggs, then whisk in the salt, sugar, nutmeg and the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated into a slightly lumpy thick batter. (It'll take a little work to whisk in the eggs.)
• Drop heaping teaspoons of the dumpling mixture into the simmering soup, then cover and cook until the vegetables are tender and the dumplings are cooked through; begin checking for doneness at 15 minutes.
• Pull the chicken meat off the bones and chop into bite-sized pieces. Season it with salt, then add it to the soup along with the ground black pepper. Taste and add more salt as needed. This is important: The amount of salt in a chicken soup can mean the difference between unappetizing chicken tea and the elixir of bubble love that it should be. So don't skip this step, and don't rush it, either. Taste your soup, and if it doesn't make you smile reflexively, add more salt, about a 1/2 teaspoon of it, and give it a few good stirs so it can dissolve. Taste and repeat, as needed, until it tastes good.
• Serve, garnishing with fresh parsley.

VEGETARIAN CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS SOUP

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, add the olive oil, onion, and garlic. Saute on low heat for 5 to 6 minutes until the veggies become translucent. Add the carrots and celery and saute for an additional 3 minutes.
• Add the potatoes, vegetable stock, salt, and thyme and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook on low for 30 minutes until veggies are soft. Add the corn and peas and stir well.
• Mix all the dumpling ingredients in a bowl, and knead a few times with your hands until the dough is well combined.
• With a small scoop (I used a small melon baller) scoop 1 teaspoon of dough into the soup at a time. The dumplings should be roughly the same size. Add each dumpling to the soup until all the dough is gone. Then add the fresh parsley. Cover the soup and simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Dumplings should be cooked all the way through.
• Serve with a fresh side salad, a slice of thick crusty bread, and enjoy!

• Season the soup, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add spoon sized balls of dumpling dough and simmer until dumplings rise.
