All this talk about chicken & dumplings followed by lasagne! What am I
to do? It is cold, grey & icky here today so either would go over well.
I get the recipe of the day directly to my email and today's recipe
was chicken soup & dumplings so I took that as an omen but still
lasagne... Lasagne would be more works as I would make up several trays
but the work would go fast, be rewarding, and give me a cooking goal for
today. But the chicken soup & dumplings would be comfort food. See
what you guys have done? Now I have to make a decision! Maybe I should
just do both

You're a seasoned cook. Do both and be done with it.

Some of the recipes need a little tweeking and others are pretty good.

Here's the recipe from cooking daily

Recipe of the Day From Our Readers: Chicken Soup & Dumplings

8 cups water
2 pounds chicken wings
1 large (1 cup) onions, chopped
1-teaspoon salt
3/4-teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
3 carrots (1 1/2 cups), sliced
2 ribs (1 cup) celery, chopped
1/2-teaspoon garlic salt
Dumplings Ingredients:
1-cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4-teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold Land O Lakes® Butter
1/2-cup milk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Place water, chicken wings, 1/2 cup onion, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2
teaspoon pepper and bay leaf in 6-quart saucepan. Cover; cook over
high heat until mixture comes to a full boil (10 to 15 minutes).
Reduce heat to low. Cover; cook until chicken is tender and comes off
the bone (1 to 1 1/2 hours). Remove chicken from broth. Cool chicken
slightly; remove from bones. Discard bones and skin. Strain broth.
Return chicken and broth to saucepan. Add remaining onions, pepper and
all remaining soup ingredients. Cook over high heat until mixture
comes to a boil (10 to 15 minutes). Reduce heat to low. Cook until

baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in small bowl; cut in butter until
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk and parsley. Drop
mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto hot soup. Cover; cook 10 minutes.
Uncover; continue cooking 10 minutes.
Yield: 6 (1-cup) servings - 1 hrs. 45 min.

When I was a kid in Minnie-Soda, Mom's homemade chicken soup with (homemade)
noodles was THE dinner for all Halloweens. It was so nice to come in from a
chilly night of trick-or-treatin' and sit down to a nice warm bowl of soup.
Of course, here in Sandy Eggo, it's 80*f today, too hot for soup
