CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS FOR TWO
I think I saw this in Cooking Light - the library's copier was broken, so I scribbled down the ingredients and directions on a slip of paper. I don't usually have celery, so used green beans and added a teaspoonful or so of dry celery leaves for flavor. I've also made it with leftover chicken, added mushrooms, used fresh herbs or different herbs, and made other changes on the fly. I love that it makes a small quantity for those of us with small households. Update: I recently served this over hot cooked noodles, and that was another nice way to have this dish.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just carrots and celery. Try adding other vegetables like onions, leeks, parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
- Roast the vegetables before adding them to the soup: This will add a deeper flavor to the soup.
- Use a good quality chicken broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is made with real chicken and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and chewy. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for a little extra flavor.
