Chicken Dumpling Soup Made and Filmed by Florence Paget reposted by Ruth Paget

My daughter Florence Paget made chicken dumpling soup that was creamy good with shredded roasted chicken breast and chopped up canned biscuits.

I like the flavor for this one-pot meal with protein-carbohydrate-and vegetables (shallots, carrots, celery, and onions).

Her video follow for this classic German-American soup:

Scent of Autumn in Monterey County California? By Ruth Paget

2026 Scent of Autumn Monterey County California by Ruth Paget

The air outside smells like burning leaves, twigs, and branches burning; a very traditional fall activity.  

The ashes can be spread on soil as fertilizer if not too frequently. This is modified slash-and-burn fertilization that I saw in practice in Italy outside Florence on one of my rips there.
