Okay... so I have fallen in love with the Creamy Chicken & Dumpling Soup! Love

I tried it for the first time 2 days ago and I love it!

We are having some dinner guests and I was thinking of serving them this for dinner. Do they sell these in the store? Is it easy to make from scratch? I think I might have to order it from the restaurant I went to! LOL

I saw the title of this thread and was hoping there was a recipe because it sounds really good, and then you taunt me further by posting a picture and no recipe. laugh3

I've tried canned chicken and dumpling soup but I haven't found any that is so great. I've had it at restaurants and it is really good. I do make homemade chicken and dumplings, but have never tried to do it as a soup. It is time consuming because I like the flat dumplings and it takes awhile to mix and roll out the dough, and then cut the dumplings out. When I do make them, Kelsey usually does that part because she likes it. Laughing Usually, I just end up going to Cracker Barrel to fulfill my chicken and dumpling craving, or go to my favorite local restaurant for the soup.

Thanks for posting the link, Carol. I'm going to have to try it. It looks too good not to! It looks like less work too. A definite plus.

I had to laugh when I saw the title of the thread. Funny story...back when David & I were first married I decided to make him some chicken & dumplings. I did, he took one bite and said that phrase that sinks many a ship, "Your chicken & dumplings don't taste like my mom makes them!" Ranting

Now she does make good chicken & dumplings but I like mine, too. I make mine more biscuit like.

Laughing That reminds me of a story my mom told me about when she and my dad were first married. She made chicken and dumplings for the first time and when he got home from work, he lifted the lid on the pot and said, "What's this?". She took it as an insult that he had to ask what it was. But, it just looked different than what his mom made. His mom made the fluffy drop-style dumplings, and my mom made the flat more noodle-like dumplings. He liked it, it just looked different than what he always had, but my mom never made it for him again. Laughing

He still got some of those chicken and dumplings though because my grandma (my mom's mom) always made the flat dumplings and she moved in with us and took over the cooking after my mom got sick. It was always a familly favorite.

The flat ones are the way that Ruth (my mil) makes them.

Carol, I'm not sure if you get "Jiffy" brand where you live, (it's a Michigan based company that's been around since the 30's), but my friend and I just had a conversation about how much better dumplings turn out with Jiffy brand mix than Bisquik's. Subsitute with that if you can find it! Thumbsup

Good answer Rob! Wink What a great hubby you will make someday! Thumbsup (and no, that's not a proposal...I am a married woman after all! batEyes ).

Have you ever tried Hormel's? That isn't too bad. They have a Hormel Compleats Microwave meal of Chicken and Dumplings that is pretty good (when I was working, I lived off their microwave meals).

In the Laura Ingalls Wilder Country Cookbook they have her recipe for Chicken and Dumplings. If anyone has that book, and has made the recipe, how was it? I have wanted to try it for years but nobody has any interest in eating it. I suppose I could try to cut the recipe down and try it for myself sometime.

No, I haven't tried the Hormel meals. I have seen those and they actually do look pretty good. I'll have to try it.

What a funny coincidence. Cracker Barrel is where I went for my birthday dinner, and yes, I got chicken and dumplings too. They make the best!

I heard that the canned soups were not that great because they had too much sodium.

Didn't Ma make Chicken & Dumplings soup in one of the Little House episodes? For some reason, I remember Laura saying the chicken and dumplings phrase scratchead Laughing

Yeah, I think it was a Christmas episode. I'm pretty sure Mr. Edwards was there. I don't think it was the first one, but I'm pretty sure it was a Christmas one. Could be wrong though.

And there was more sodium in early dishes than there are today. It added flavor, it cured their meat for winter, and they'd never heard of too much sodium. Most likely, if you went back in time and said something, they'd look at you funny. They didn't have sodium, they had salt in their terminology. The earliest settlements were built near a source of salt because of its necessity of the time.
