Southern Chicken and Dumpling Soup

This is a lighter variation on a Southern classic, chicken and dumplings, which are a type of homemade noodle.

The trick is to use a light, fresh noodle that doesn't have to be pre-boiled.


Ingredients

  • 4 cups homemade or low-sodium chicken broth

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • 1 tsp. minced garlic

  • 1 can condensed low-sodium cream of mushroom soup

  • 2 cups cooked, cubed chicken

  • 1 10-ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, green beans, peas, and corn), or

  • 3 cups fresh vegetables

  • 6 sheets of refrigerated egg roll wrappers

  • 1 tbsp. parsley


Directions

Put chicken broth into a large soup pot and add onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add condensed mushroom soup and chicken. Heat thoroughly and add vegetables.

Slice each egg roll wrapper into three "wide noodles." Add noodles three at a time to simmering soup. Stir gently so they don't stick, and continue adding until all are in the pot.

Continue simmering for about 2 minutes. Ladle into 4 bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
