I just had to share this recipe because my whole family thought it was absolutely delicious! It’s a filling and comforting twist on traditional chicken soup. Don’t be afraid of the jalapeno, the heat factor is pretty mild. —Jenny Dubinsky, Inwood, West Virginia

I substituted the chicken with Adouille Cajun Style Sausages(fully cooked) and this came out ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I also sprinkled a little cayenne pepper on the onions and doubled the dumplings. I will be adding this to my recipe binder =)

this recipe was wonderful, but 2 things kept it from getting a 5-star rating. 1, after the chicken is cooked and removed from the pan it is not mentioned again in the recipe, so i proceeded with the remainder of the instructions, put the dumplings in and the lid on (which you're not supposed to open), and lo and behold thre's the dish of chicken sitting there waiting for me. so i put it in after the fact, and that kinda sunk some of the dumplings. secondly, in all honesty, i didn't think the dumplings were very good at all. they added nothing to the soup, tasted very bland, and i'll be keeping this recipe on file, but i won't be bothering with them. the soup can totally hold its own w/o the dumplings, and it's just extra calories i don't need. but 5 stars for the soup itself!!

Can't wait to try this but the recipe doesn't say what to do with the chicken after it's cooked. I assume it goes back in the pot with the beans, corn, etc.

Very tasty! Perfect for a cold, blustery, snowy winter night. Loved the dumplings especially!

My only complaint is that there were not enough dumplings for the amount of soup that this recipe makes. Went together really easy, but next time is definitely making more dumplings.
