I had to do a few things different with this recipe just because I couldn’t find the garlic and herb soup mix in my grocery. Instead I used the onion soup mix, ½ an onion, 4 cups of water and 2 cans of chicken broth, some garlic seasoning, a bay leaf, and some mrs. Dash seasoning. I brought all of these ingredients to a boil, then added potatoes, carrots, peas, corn, and green beans (the veggies I used actually equaled out to about 2 ½ cups but I prefer a soup with lots of veggies). I used 2 cans of Swanson’s chicken breast because I already had that on hand. The only negative comment I have on this recipe is that the bisquick dumpling recipe made wayyyyy too much dough. I would suggest 2 ¼ cup bisquick mix and 2/3 cup milk, maybe even less than that. I ended up making 6 drop biscuits and having plenty of dumplings with the amount suggested in this recipe. Other than that, the recipe was wonderful! Perfect for my snowy day in and it smelled soooooo good simmering while I did my chores, I will definitely keep this one on file! Thanks!
