I was born in Arkansas, and this recipe is one I grew up on. It's one of my favorite Dutch oven soup recipes. Plus, it's so easy and filling...you can fix it for anyone. Sometimes, if my husband and I are going fishing all day, I'll prepare the chicken the day before. Then, when we get home, I'll reheat it, mix up my dumplings, plop them on top and have supper ready to serve within 20 minutes. —Patricia Collins, Imbler, Oregon

Ingredients

  • 1 broiler/fryer chicken (2-1/2 to 3 pounds), cut up
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 4 celery ribs, sliced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 2 teaspoons rubbed sage, divided

  • 3 cups biscuit/baking mix
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
