Yummy Chicken and Dumpling Soup
Chicken and dumpling soup is a classic that every cook should have in their recipe box and this version is tried and true. My husband is not very fond of leftovers, but says he would eat this every day of the week if I let him. —Morgan Byers, Berkley, Michigan

Yum Yum Yum Delicious. I did add one chicken bouillon as the chicken broth I used was very low sodium. Also I did step 2 first and while that was simmering I browned the chicken. I will absolutely make this again and again.
I made this soup on a cold snowy afternoon and it really hit the spot with both me and my hardworking husband! I doubled the recipe so we'd be sure to have leftovers and I'm really glad that we'll get to have this soup for another meal. I didn't have frozen green beans, so I used a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and that worked great. I also used some baked white meat chicken that I already in the freezer which simplified preparation and shortened the prep time. I did add some extra salt and pepper to the soup along with the marjoram and added some vegetable soup base to punch up the flavor.
I am a big fan of rotisserie chickens and this is a great way to use any leftover meat. I also like to make broth from the bones which is much more flavorful than canned. I love the addition of cornmeal to the dumplings.
I used leftover chicken, substituted thyme for marjoram, and added a 1/4 tsp Frankenmuth chicken seasoning. The results were excellent and every bowl was empty! I will definitely make this recipe again.
I used my own traditional family favorite chicken soup and topped it with the corn cheddar biscuits. Simply amazing! Who would have thought corn and cheddar would make such scrumptious dumplings?
This is a tasty soup recipe. I finished cooking the soup in the crock pot and added thyme and basil instead of marjoram. I made my dumplings bite size.
Loved this recipe, and the fact that it is low fat makes it a keeper!
My husband and I are not a big fan of Chicken and Dumpling anything unless it's baked but I figured I'd give this a try. It was good but it's not something I will make it again just because my family likes the biscuits fluffy the way they get when their baked not cooked on the stove. If you are a Chicken and Dumpling lover then I highly recommend you to try this out.
Very good and delicious! I did; however, make my own dumplings and didn't use marjoram. Mine cooked down to thickness of a stew rather than a soup.
I made this in the crock pot
