Creamy Chicken & Dumpling Soup.....

This is the first time I've ever made this soup, and it was amazing!!! My husband loved it so much, he wants me to make more tomorrow!!! It is a little bit more time consuming than most of my other dishes... but if you are looking for a tasty soup, this one is it!!!!!

Ingredients:

Soup:
2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup carrot, chopped
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1.5 lbs chicken thighs

Dumplings:
1 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 tbl butter, melted
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp parsley

Prep:
~Clean and chop veggies
~Trim fat off chicken
~Boil chicken, but not completely, excess fat will float at top, skim off water, remove from heat and then cut up in smaller bite sized pieces for soup
~Simmer veggies in chicken broth until soft
~Meanwhile, melt butter in mixing bowl, add milk and egg. Whisk together... and then add flour, salt, pepper and parsley. It will become a sticky, thick batter.
~After veggies are softened, add chicken, cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups, along with the other pepper, salt, and poultry seasoning.
~Mix together thoroughly.
~Simmer, do not boil, for 30 minutes
~Drop spoonfuls of dumpling batter into soup, then simmer for another 20 minutes on a low heat, covered. Stirring occasionally.
~Enjoy!!!
