3/4 cup brown button mushroom, sliced
2 stalks celery & leaves, sliced thinly

1 cup milk or 1 cup half-and-half

  • 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.
  • DUMPLINGS: Choose dumpling recipe and prepare. Version #1: in a mixing bowl combine the flour, parsley, baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Mix the milk and oil together and pour into flour mixture.
  • 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.
