Ingredients

  • 1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 pound biscuit baking mix
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 5 large potatoes, peeled and chopped

Directions

Step 1
Put chicken pieces in a large pot over medium heat, and add enough water to cover 3 inches over the chicken. Add the salt, celery, pepper, carrots, celery and potatoes. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 40 minutes.

Step 2
In a mixing bowl, prepare biscuit mix according to package directions. After simmering soup for 40 minutes, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the biscuit mixture into the pot and let them cook a bit between additions of dumplings, so that they do not stick together.

Step 3
With a wire whisk, mix together about 1 1/2 cups of water with the flour, then add flour mixture to the soup pot until the broth has the consistency of gravy. Dig in and enjoy the meal!
