20 servings

  • 7 pounds cut up chicken pieces
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 cup water
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Start the soup: Place chicken pieces in a large pot; add chicken stock, onions, celery, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, then simmer, partially covered, until chicken is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the dumplings: Beat egg and milk together in a large mixing bowl. Mix in 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt. Grate cold butter into the wet flour mixture; stir in parsley.
  • Dollop 6 large spoonfuls of dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken. Cover the pot and steam dumplings until fluffy, 10 minutes more.
  • Remove dumplings and chicken pieces to a large dish; shred chicken and discard bones. Cover and set aside, keeping warm.
  • For the gravy: Strain stock left in the pot, pressing the vegetables to release more flavor; return stock to the pot. Whisk water with remaining 1/2 cup flour until smooth; stir into the strained stock. Season with pepper and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken.
  • Stir in chicken and top with dumplings. Serve with parsley.
