Ingredients
- 6 peppercorns
- 3 chicken boullion (cubes)
- 1 fryer
- 1 egg
- 1 bay leaf
- 1,400 ml water (cold)
- 800 gr chicken
- 300 ml cream chick
- 300 ml cream mush
- 250 gr flour
- 190 gr carrots (chopped)
- 300 ml chicken broth
- 160 ml milk
- 150 gr potatoes (chopped)
- 100 gr celery (chopped)
- 30 gr onion (chopped)
- 28 gr melted butter
- 18 gr baking powder
- 3 gr seasoned salt
- 3 gr salt
Place fryer, water, boullion, peppercorns and cloves in kettle and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until chicken is tender (about 1.5 hours). Cool chicken just slightly; cut into bite size pieces and set aside. Strain and skim chicken broth. Put reserved chicken and broth in large kettle; add cans of broth, chicken, and mushroom soups, celery, carrots, onion, potatoes, bay leaf, peas and seasoned salt. Put cover on kettle; simmer soup on low heat for about 2-3 hours. About 30 minutes before serving, mix up feather dumplings by sifting dry ingredients together. Add egg, melted butter and enough milk to make moist, stiff batter. Drop by teaspoons into boiling liquid. Cook, covered and without "peeking" for 18-20 minutes or until the dumplings are done. Yield is 10 dozen servings.
