My Little Dumpling Soup

https://www.weknowstuff.us.com Chicken and Dumplings
My husband loves chicken soup, he asks for it at least once a week. That can add up to a lot of chicken soup during the course of a year. I thought I could shake things up a little and try making chicken and dumpling soup for my soup fan.

With Valentine's Day around the corner I wanted to surprise him with a few hearts floating in his soup! His expression was priceless as I handed him his big bowl of soup. Apparently, a bowl full of hearts is a sure fire way to put a smile on your husband's face!

(Now I know everyone has their own way of making chicken soup, so feel free to make your recipe as you like and then toss in the dumplings at the end.)


Ingredients:
10 cups chicken broth
3 chicken cutlets cut into bite sized pieces
3 celery stalks washed and cut into pieces
3 carrots cut into heart shapes
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Heart Shaped Dumplings:
2 Cup All-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tablespoons melted butter
3/4 Cup Whole Milk

Sift flour and baking powder and salt together.  Mix in milk and butter. Once the dough comes together, put on a floured surface. Knead for a few minutes until smooth. Roll put to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into heart shapes. You can either you a cookie cutter or use a knife to cut out a basic heart shape.

    Dumplings are THE best, and heart-shaped dumplings… adorable. It’s so sweet that the carrots are heart shaped too. Lucky husband to have so much love put into his soup!
