Mix the dumpling ingredients first until the consistency of muffin batter (add more milk if necessary) and set aside.Dump all of the soup ingredients into your largest soup pot and cook on the top of the stove, on 3/4 heat, for about 45 minutes. When the potatoes are tender, and chicken is cooked, gently place spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture on top of the soup. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the dumplings to steam and rise.Dish out to your eager family. Feeds 6 - 8 depending on how hungry they are. Makes a great Sunday family dinner. Tastes even better the next day for lunch.
