Potato Dumpling Soup, a One Pot Meal that is so delicious!

My brother Jeff likes nothing better than a big bowl of potato dumplings. So, I thought, why not make a big ole' pot just for him. Although he is not at my house to enjoy a bowl with me, I will be thinking of him when I eat them. Oh so creamy, chunky, delicious in one pot. Try a bowl today. Turn it into loaded soup like I did my bowl, or just enjoy a bowl straight from the pot with a slice of cornbread. I promise, you will enjoy this soup as much as we do. Recipe to follow. Enjoy!

Add potatoes, pour in box of stock. Simmer until just fork tender, about 10 minutes. In the meantime, make the dumplings. Keep extra stock aside if needed. Potatoes should be covered by at least one inch or more for dumplings. Dumplings: 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour pinch salt 1 Tbsp shortening 1/2 cup chicken stock or broth Stir flour and salt together. Cut in shortening. Stir in chicken stock. Mixture should be thick. Drop by spoonsfuls into potatoes. Stir very gently so as not to break dumplings. Add extra stock if needed to keep soupy. Simmer about 15 minutes. Add butter and half & half. Simmer a couple of minutes just to melt butter and heat milk. Serve and enjoy! Garnish if wanted with chopped bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced green onions.
