What Is The Best Way to Make Chicken and Dumplings?

[Care4all]

Try adding the mashed up yoke of a hard boiled egg to the broth.

Yes! My Italian grandmother would cook the soup with a quartered potato to thicken it, then remove the potato.....

But I just learned a super duper easy shortcut, and that is to just add a can of Campbell's condensed cream of chicken soup to it....and I've done it once, and it worked just great!

Potatoes are also a good trick if you accidentally get too much salt. Do the same thing, quarter a couple potatoes and drop them in the pot, let it simmer for a while.

They will absorb the salt, and save your soup or spaghetti sauce.

Cream of chicken soup works every time!

I make my dumpling like a kreploch, in fact you can look up a recipe for Kreploch, hollow it out and fill it with seasoned shredded soup chicken and gravy laddled on top.
I make mine by memory using melted, butter, then flour, then pour a fork wisked egg or 2, large spoon balls when boiled puffs up a lot like an eclaire shell in texture and taste. Easy to cut the top and stuff with shredded soup chicken.

I always use Bisquick. That was what the old secret family recipe made. Really good Bisquick dumplings.

I always use Bisquick too.

Asking because there's an old secret family recipe that I'm not allowed to know.

As I can't make it as good as my mom can. JohnDB, another thread that I need your help with.

Sorry. I love to cook but the way I make chicken and dumplings is take out from Cracker Barrel.
