Ingredients

Chicken: ......

1 (2 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces

3 ribs celery, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

2 bay leaves

2 chicken bouillon cubes

1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows

1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of celery or cream of chicken soup

Dumplings:..............

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

Ice water

Directions

To start the chicken: Place the chicken, celery, onion, bay leaves,

bouillon, and House Seasoning in a large pot. Add 4 quarts of water

and in water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer the

chicken until it is tender and the thigh juices run clear, about 40

minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and, when it is cool enough

to handle, remove the skin and separate the meat from the bones.

Return the chicken meat to the pot. Keep warm over low heat.

To prepare the dumplings: Mix the flour with the salt and mound

together in a mixing bowl. Beginning at the center of the mound,

drizzle a small amount of ice water over the flour. Using your

fingers, and moving from the center to the sides of the bowl,

gradually incorporate about 3/4 cup of ice water. Knead the dough and

form it into ball.

Dust a good amount of flour onto a clean work surface. Roll out the

dough (it will be firm), working from center to 1/8-inch thick. Let

the dough relax for several minutes.

Add the cream of celery soup to the pot with the chicken and simmer

gently over medium-low heat.

Cut the dough into 1-inch pieces. Pull a piece in half and drop the

halves into the simmering soup. Repeat. Do not stir the chicken once

the dumplings have been added. Gently move the pot in a circular

motion so the dumplings become submerged and cook evenly. Cook until

the dumplings float and are no longer doughy, 3 to 4 minutes.

To serve, ladle chicken, gravy, and dumplings into warm bowls.

Cook's Note: If the chicken stew is too thin it can be thickened

before the dumplings are added. Simply mix together 2 tablespoons

cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water then whisk this mixture into the stew.

House Seasoning: You do not have to use if you don't want to.

1 cup salt

1/4 cup black pepper

1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to

6 months.
