    Drop Dumplings:

    * 3 Cup A/P Flour
    * 2 teaspoon salt
    * 1 large egg
    * 1 cup milk
    * Seasoning (garlic powder, etc) optional
    * —> mix well into dough.
    * —> make sure soup is boiling before adding dough.
    * —> after dumplings float, cook for 3 min. Should take 4-5 min to cook, total.

    Soup:

    * Oil pot. Season and brown 2 chicken breasts on both sides. Remove from pot.
    * Add chopped onion, garlic, celery, carrots, corn, string beans, peas, etc. Cook in chicken browning.
    * Add 9-10 cups of chicken stock. Stir.
    * Add chicken, Italian seasoning, oregano, tumeric, black/white pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, MSG (optional), 1-2 bay leaves. Stir.
    * Place lid on pot and let the soup boil until chicken is cooked through, and then remove.
    * Add tbsp-sized dumplings to soup. Once fully cooked (4-5 min) lower heat.
    * Shred chicken + add to soup.
    * Salt and pepper to taste.
    * Lemon for brightening. Chopped scallions for the aesthetic.

    —> Makes 4 large bowls.

    I measure with my heart. I also used water+chicken bouillon since I’d run out of homemade stock. I used a combination of *better than bouillon* roasted chicken base + knorr granulated chicken bouillon. Because I used the chicken browning and the liquid from boiling the chicken, it had a very authentic chicken flavor + tasted just as good as when I’ve used homemade broth/stock.
