Chicken & Dumplings

Chicken Soup;
One whole chicken ~ boiled and boned. Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Set aside.
4 cups chicken stock { or 4 cans chicken broth }
1 medium onion chopped
3 stocks celery, cut into 1 inch piece
1 ~ 2 ~ lb bag of mixed vegetables
salt & pepper to taste

Dumplings;
2 cups all purpose baking  mix
2/3 cup milk
{ makes about 6 dumplings }
In large pot with a lid. Add stock, chicken, onion, celery, mixed vegetables and salt & pepper. Bring to a boil.  Reduce soup to a simmer, cook for 10 minutes. In medium bowl mix dumpling ingredients together until soft dough forms. 
Bring soup back to a boil. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto boiling soup {dipping the spoon into soup between each dumpling will keep the dough from sticking on the spoon}. Reduce heat to low.
Cook uncovered 10 minutes. Cover and cook 10 minutes. NO PEEKING!!!  
Serves 6, enjoy
