Chicken Soup For The Soul With Rice And Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine 3 cups cooked chicken, eggs, 3/4 cup chicken broth, 1 cup flour, parsley, 2 teaspoons salt, pepper and tarragon. Process until smooth.
• In a large pot, bring 4 cups chicken broth to a boil. Drop dumpling mixture by rounded spoonfuls into boiling broth. Simmer, uncovered, 5 to 8 minutes, until well formed and slightly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve dumpling cooking liquid.
• In a large pot melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion, celery and garlic in butter until onion is translucent. Stir in 1/2 cup flour until fully incorporated. Pour in 2 quarts chicken broth, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Introduce 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and carrots. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
• Stir in dumplings, reserved liquid and 3 cups cooked chicken. Simmer 15 minutes more before serving.

Steps:

• In a small amount of cooking oil sweat the onion, carrots and celery. Add chicken, broth, green beans, barley, celery salt, parsley and bay leaves. Simmer until the barley is tender, about 30 minutes.
• Bring the milk and butter to a boil, add salt and nutmeg. Remove from heat and immediately add flour stirring until dough leaves the sides of the pan. Incorporate the eggs, 1 at a time, forming a sticky dough.
• Season the soup, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add spoon sized balls of dumpling dough and simmer until dumplings rise.

Steps:

• *NOTE: I have used leftover cooked rice for this soup recipe. Add the cooked rice right before adding the dumpling batter to the pot. Do not add the cooked rice at the onset or it will turn to mush.
• In a large soup pot, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter until hot and saute the mushrooms, celery and carrots until tender.
• Stir in the chicken stock, chicken meat, green peas, par-boiled rice, thyme, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings. In small bowl beat together the eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in the flour.
• Once the soup has come to a boil, drop the dumplings batter from a small greased or buttered spoon to make 16 mounds on top of the soup. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 10 minutes or until dumplings are cooked and "light".
• Adjust seasoning before serving. Say a blessing and open wide.

Steps:

• Place the chicken, water, bouillon, peppercorns and cloves in a stockpot. Cover and bring to a boil; skim foam. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 45-60 minutes or until chicken is tender. Strain broth; return to stockpot. , Remove chicken and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove meat from bones; discard bones and skin and cut chicken into chunks. Cool broth and skim off fat. , Return chicken to stockpot with soups, vegetables and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour. Uncover; increase heat to a gentle boil. Discard bay leaf., For dumplings, combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir in egg, butter and enough milk to make a moist stiff batter. Drop by teaspoonfuls into soup. Cover and cook without lifting the lid for 18-20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Steps:

• First of all I had 2 chickens that I seperated the legs and breasts of to be used another time.
• The Carcass then cut into smaller bits I placed into a large stock pot and covered with my finest water.
• This is brought to a simmer and the foam skimmed of as it rises to the top.
• After about 10 minutes I add the vegetables and spices apart from the stelline pasta, cut leeks, peas and diced broccoli stem.
• This stock now is left to quietly simmer for 2 hours or more (it can be anything up to 24 hours, but who would want to wait that long).
• After 20 minutes I will lift out the carrot and parsnip pieces, cut them into cubes and use them in the finished soup.
• Strain the stock, pick any meat of the chicken and in another pot bring all remaining ingredients for the finished soup to a boil.
• Now it all just needs another 5 minutes of simmering to warm through the vegies, chicken and pasta. Then it's ready to make you feel good!
• Enjoy!
