Prep Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs Chicken legs
  • 1 lb baby carrots cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 whole celery diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 20 cubes Chicken Bouillon
  • salt
  • pepper

For the dumplings:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a large stock pot, combine your chicken legs and 15 cups of water. Sprinkle in a little salt and pepper and boil over high heat until chicken is cooked thoroughly.
  • Once chicken has finished cooking, remove chicken from the pot and cut up, discarding the bones.
  • Return chicken to pot and add the rest of your ingredients, including a bit more pepper. Let simmer over low-medium heat for 1-2 hours.
  • In the meantime, prepare your dumpling mixture. Beast your eggs in a large cereal bowl, add your baking powder and parsley. When adding the flour, I do so by the teaspoon, because you really have to judge by the texture. As you add each spoonful of flour, stir it into your egg mixture until it's a taffy-like consistency.
  • When your soup is done, you will add the dumplings. I found that they turn out best when you made them smaller, so using a small spoon, gather a small amount about the size of a dime and add it into the pot by dipping the spoon in the broth to get the dumpling off. Repeat until your mixture is gone, then cook for a few more minutes, serve and enjoy!!
