Directions

  1. Mix the flours, baking soda, baking powder, sage, salt (optional), and pepper in a medium bowl. Add yogurt, egg, and water and knead to make a slightly sticky dough. Cover the bowl and set aside.

  2. Add cooking spray and olive oil to a large soup pot over medium high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

  3. Add the chicken and broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. Roll the dough out into an 8 inch disk that is 1/2-inch thick. Cut the dough into 1 inch pieces and drop the dumplings into the simmering broth. Stir frequently until all the dumplings are added.

  5. Simmer the dumplings for 10 minutes and serve.

Reviews
  • Not recommended

    Unfortunately, my husband and myself did not care for this. Too watery and dumplings were too grainy for our taste.

    My dumplings were not crumbly at all. Perhaps the generic brand of yogurt I used was thinner than most. If you think the soup is on the bland side, that is easily corrected by adding dry spices such as Italian seasoning. Will be making this again.

  • Not recommended

    The dough for the dumplings was crumbly. The dumplings were tough. Overall the soup was mediocre.
