I consider this a great cheater recipe. One that can easily be made on a weeknight and still be in bed in time for a good night sleep.
The base is going to be the same as other chicken soups, but the dumpling is really the cheater part of it. Instead of making your own dough, use a tube of store bought biscuit dough cut into smaller pieces that will puff up and take in all of the chicken flavor of the broth. Easy on the weeknight and the kids LOVE it!
