Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 pound biscuit baking mix
2 large carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
5 large potatoes, peeled and chopped

Steps:

Put chicken pieces in a large pot over medium heat, and add enough water to cover 3 inches over the chicken. Add the salt, celery, pepper, carrots, celery and potatoes. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 40 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, prepare biscuit mix according to package directions. After simmering soup for 40 minutes, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the biscuit mixture into the pot and let them cook a bit between additions of dumplings, so that they do not stick together.
With a wire whisk, mix together about 1 1/2 cups of water with the flour, then add flour mixture to the soup pot until the broth has the consistency of gravy. Dig in and enjoy the meal!
