1/4 cup corn
3/4 cup brown button mushroom, sliced
2 stalks celery & leaves, sliced thinly
1 cup onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon salt-free garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 cup milk or 1 cup half-and-half
1/3 cup flour
2 cups cooked chicken or 2 cups cooked turkey, cubed
2/3 cup unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced (ok to sub dried parsley)
1 teaspoon baking powder

  • Heat until very hot but not boiling.
  • Whisk together the milk and flour. Stir into the vegetable mixture. Stir in the cooked chicken.
  • Cook and stir the soup on low-medium to medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat if soup looks like it might begin to boil.

  • Stir with a fork until combined. Drop by greased tablespoonful to make about 8 mounds on top of the hot stew. Cover; simmer approximately 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in one of the dumplings comes out clean. DO NOT lift cover while cooking the dumplings.
  • Version #2: Combine the ingredients. Continue to prepare the same as Version #1 dumplings in Step #6.
