1 (2.5 lb - 4lb) chicken cut into 8 pieces
3 ribs celery

chop carrots
2 bay leaves
2 chicken boullion cubes
.5 t salt
.25 t pepper
.25 t garlic powder
1 can condensed cream of celery (campbell's healthy choice)
dumplings = 2 c flour, 1 t salt, ice water
1) 4 qts. water, chicken, celery, onions, bay, boullion & seasoning. Simmer ~40 min until chicken is tender. Remove chicken and cool. Remove meat from bones and return to pot over L heat.
2) Make a flour & salt well. Drizzle ice water and work in until ~3/4 c water. Knead and form ball. Roll out to 1/8" thickness. Rest several minutes
3) Add stoup to pot and simmer over M-L
4) Cut dough into 1" pieces. Pull in half and drop in pot for 3-4 minutes. Do not stir dumplings, swirl pot instead.
i also like to add carrots. i prefer cream of celery soup and i also just rip the dumplings to add them.
