Grandma’s Chicken ‘n’ Dumpling Soup
I've enjoyed making this rich homemade chicken dumpling soup recipe for over 40 years. Every time I serve this type of soup, I remember my southern grandma, who was very special to me and was known as an outstanding cook. —Paulette Balda, Prophetstown, Illinois

Wonderful flavor. Family enjoyed it.
This soup delicious. Of particular delicious are the dumplings. I had never made little dumplings like this in chicken soup and l LOVED them. I think they would be great in a beef soup as well. This is a keeper. Janet VFE
To Melanie, people who post negative comments aren't "trolls." More often than not the criticism is warranted. It is also helpful to other readers, assuming a reason was given for disliking a recipe. I doubt that TOH test-cooks every recipe that gets submitted. They might spot-check a few, but they seem quite willing to publish anything and everything, whether good or bad. That means it's important to read the comments unless you like wasting time and ingredients..
I appreciate honest comments, suggesting substitutes for ingredients that not on hand. I think the soup is rich enough without having to use bouillon and various different vegetables. Customize your way!
This was an easy and great tasting recipe. Yes, it has some short cuts. I made it even simpler by using a store bought rotisserie chicken, box chicken broth and bisquick for the dumplings. Sometimes, you just need simple...
Great recipe. Certainly a lot of critics here in the reviews. If you don't like the ingredients in the recipe, don't make it. Quit Whining.
This is to E Jay and the rest of the criticizes of this recipe. I am 72 years old and of course my Grandmother didn’t use soups in her cooking but as a Grandmother and Great Grandmother myself, i’m all for it! I’ve used cream soups in my recipes for years and guess what? Nobody has complained yet! This is a great recipe!
This chicken and dumplings is the bomb, so delicious and hearty. Have made it 3 times now and on the stove now for a fourth time. Family just LOVES it. If your reading some reviews that seem harsh, just try it, you won’t be disappointed!!!
My Grandmother did NOT use Canned Soup in her Chicken & Dumplings ... that's a 'TASTE OF HOME'?
Grandma will go broke buying all the ingredients
