Wonderful dish that's great for a chilly Midwestern night!! I did add some salt and pepper for taste, used lactose free milk instead of regular and omitted the cheese (for the lactose intolerant in my house) but was still a great dish.

I made only the dumplings for "Better Than Chicken and Dumplings" on this site. They were light and fluffy, and didn't get soggy at all. We loved them! Thank you for posting!
