This what I call 'Feel like a good Mum Soup'.

Whenever I make it I feel like I'm doing something good for my kids!

Ingredients

Soup

3 big chicken breasts

4 carrots

1 diced onion

125g butter

6tbsp flour

6C chicken stock

2 C frozen mixed veges or peas

1/2C cream (optional) I used 1/4C

salt 'n pepper

Dumplings

2C flour

1tsp baking powder

2/3 C cream

Dice chicken and brown in pot with a little oil. Take out and put in a bowl.

Dice carrots and onion. Saute in same pot for a few minutes.

Add butter and melt into the veges. When butter is melted, add flour and mix in.

Put chicken back in.

Add 6C chicken stock

Add frozen veg/peas

Add Cream

Put on lid and simmer gently for 15 mins

While soup is simmering, prepare the dumplings as follows

In a bowl put 2C Flour and add 1tsp baking powder, mix and then add 2/3C cream

Mix into a dough. Add a little more flour if needed.

Seperate the dough into half, then half, then half again and so on. Make 12-16 even sized dough balls.

When the soup has simmered for 15 mins, drop in the dough balls, they'll submerge in the soup.

Put the lid back on and leave on low heat for another 10-15 mins....until dumplings have risen to the top and are cooked through.

Done!
