  1. This was very good. My family really liked it a lot and as far as being easy...it doesn't get much easier than this! I didn't like the dumplings as much as the firmer kind, these were very light and fluffy, but everyone seemed to like them. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. This was very tasty and should receive 5* based on easiness alone :) I could not believe that the WHOLE family ate and enjoyed it, which doesn't happen often, since I have 2 pickies out of 6 eaters! Thanks, once again Inez, for a budget stretching delicious dinner. P.S. Be careful to use very low heat...I used #3 on my electric stove and the soup still burned and stuck a bit on the bottom...no biggie, though, since the dish did not need to be stirred, I didn't even notice until it was all gone and I was clearing the table :)
     
  3. Tastes great and is super easy to make. My son and I don't like carrots, so we use celery. I make a double batch and usually use a can of cream or mushroom and a can of either cream of chicken or cream of celery. Dumplings came out perfect. On my dinner rotation.
     
  4. This is a great family comfort food dinner. I have made this for years, I do however change the cream of mushroom to the cream of chicken. I have aso substituted half anf half for the milk as well. the secret is to use a lower heat and stir frequently until you add the dumplings.
     
  5. Like Karen said, be sure to use very low heat! I was waiting for it to boil and when I went to put the dumplings in I stirred it and realized the bottom had burned. I ended up having to throw everything away and eat takeout for dinner. But I will try this again using very low heat and being careful!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!! I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch. We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
