That David Venable recipe is more complicated than it needs to be.

 

Not everyone has a pressure cooker, too many steps.

I'd google it and find other choices to compare.

 

My father was from the south not too far from where DV great up in N. Carolina.

 

He'd make a great fresh chicken soup, add in some flour to thicken and my mother the northerner ha figured a short cut.  She would use bisquick to make biscuit dough but one time she used the bang on the counter Pillsborough biscuit can.  Cut them up before adding them and I liked that version better.

My recipe is easier and made with no processed foods like canned soup.

 

I just cook a chicken in water with carrots, onions and celery to make good broth.  Pick the chicken off of the bones and add to the broth.

 

Dumplings are two cups of flour, 1 tea salt and 3/4 cup of ice cold water.  I mix in a food processor, but you could kneed by hand.  Form into a ball, Roll out and cut into rectangles and drop into boiling broth.  I also add potato cut small and some parsley along with salt and pepper to taste.

 

I made ham and dumplings two days ago with my leftover Easter ham.  I make all flavor's to use up whatever meat with bones that I have.

 

We don't eat canned soups at my house....don't need to.
