My ex-mother-in-law (from South Carolina) was a wonderful cook. She made something similar to this & I really enjoyed it. I never knew how she made it. American cooking was so different from the English cooking I was used to back then in 1962. I can't wait to try it. It brings back memories of a very special lady who has been gone for a long time. Thankyou & 5 forks

What is dumpling cooking liquid and what is the amount that is needed? Recipe looks great.

Canzi the dumpling cooking liquid, is the broth that you cooked the dumpling's in. The water that the chicken n bouilon was cooked in, bout 1 cup is needed, but can add more depending how thick or thin you want your sauce.
