Soup Sunday-Chicken Soup with Lemon Celery Dumplings



I think I've mentioned before how much I love the supermarket roast chickens. They were on sale last week and I could not resist. They make a really easy and tasty meal when I'm busy.  Everytime I buy one now, I make soup with the carcass. I leave some meat on the bones and the drumsticks.

I put the carcass in my slow cooker and add a 32 ounce carton of chicken broth. I then add enough water to cover all the bones. I then cook for 24 hours on low heat. I remember the carcass, strain the soup and take the meat off of the bones. I then use the broth and meat to make a soup. Hope you enjoy today's recipe

Chicken Soup with Lemon Celery Dumplings

6 cups chicken bone broth
2 cups of cooked chicken
1/4 white onion finely chopped
2 carrots sliced
2 stalks of celery thinly sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Dumplings
1 1/3 cup unbleached flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cayene pepper
3 tablespoons celery leaves finely chopped
1 egg beaten
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Put all of the soup ingredients into a Dutch oven.  Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to cook the carrots and celery. In the mean time put the flour and baking powder in a bowl.  Add the pepper, leaves, egg, milk and lemon juice.  Blend all of the ingredients. Bring the soup to a low bowl.   Fill a soup spoon with dough. Using a knife, scrape into the soup.  Add all of the mixture to the soup. Cook for five minutes.

Serves 6
