YUM! I added two small potatoes and was out of flour so I used 1/2 the amount of cornstarch. My husband gave this a 9 out 10 on the delicious scale! Will definitely make again and again.

Fabulous recipe! I think that the celery seed does something magical to the taste. I don't know if this cuts the calories or not, but I have made it with only the bottom pie crust. On the top, I spread some rustic mashed potatoes. I made this for my book club and the ladies raved about it also. Thanks Tabby.

This is an OMG recipe! The broth is so-o good, and it is easy to put together. I used cooked chicken so I sauteed the onions, carrots and celery in a little butter and added the flour and then the broth and milk. I threw in the chicken, some peas and corn and let it simmer for about half an hour. I topped it off with dumplings and it was indeed comfort food. This will be a staple in our house. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
