eggs
- 1
1/2 cup flour
- Dash
of black pepper
- Dash

- Dash
of chicken bullion, finely ground
Directions
Cook cut up chicken till meat is tender. (Cut chicken is used because bones
give the soup the best flavor. Chicken breast may be used, but the rich flavor
will be lacking.) Add carrots, onion, and celery to stock. Cook until tender.
Make dumplings according to recipe being careful not to over mix eggs and
flour, which will result in "tough" dumplings. Using a spoon, gently
add dumpling mixture to the chicken stock. Cook for 5 more minutes. Add chicken
bullion, black pepper and a dash of sugar to taste.
