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:
