Tastes like chicken.

I roasted a chicken last week and then used it for two other meals.




The chicken turned out well and made a good meal but my roommate, Christine and I can only eat so much so the next night I was all set to make Matzoh Ball soup. The grocery store behind my apartment is pitiful. Seriously - I think when my friend Shmara first walked in there she cried (unless that was a secret, then she didn't) . Terrible produce. I complain about this fact all the time so why was I surprised to find out they have no Matzoh Meal? I was too tired to trek across town to a decent market. I would have to find a substitute. I called my Kitty Mom and asked her if I could substitute bread crumbs for Matzoh Meal. She said no and she suggested buying pasta to add to the soup or making chicken and dumplings. Hmmm. Chicken and Dumplings sounded like a close second to matzoh ball soup. Kitty told me there was a great dumpling recipe on the back of the Bisquick box. other than the dumplings the soup was made up of everything I would have used in the matzoh ball soup. I put in baby carrots, sliced celery, mushrooms, and fresh parsley along with some herbs and spices. For a first attempt I was kind of proud of myself. It was a big hit with my roomie too.

The first night I served it over wild and long grain rice but found that it was not necessary to serve it with anything.

This made gallons of Chicken and dumplings and there was still some chicken left ....
