Double Chicken Dumpling Soup


Another yummy recipe from rachel ray show. this one is for dinner tonight. picture to follow. ;) looks yummy though. I would use a 3 cheese blend - parm, asagio and romano myself as that is my fav. I will also use 1-2 8oz packages of rising moon garlic and basil frozen gnocchi (depending on your preference)in place of the fresh since i could not locate fresh in the refrigerated grocery aisle here locally. may be only seasonally in my area. ;)

Steps


Heat a soup pot over medium to medium-high heat with evoo.
Add celery , onions , carrots and bay leaf , season with salt and pepper , and cook 5 minutes.
Add stock to the pot , cover and bring to a boil.
Place chicken in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Add garlic , nutmeg , egg , bread crumbs and cheese.
Combine the chicken mixture with your hands then roll into walnut-sized meat balls and add to the soup.
Wash up , then add the gnocchi to the pot and cook for 5 minutes.
Add peas and parsley , and cook 2 minutes more.
Turn heat off under the stoup and allow it to cool for 5 minutes on the stovetop.
Sprinkle each bowl with your favorite shredded or grated white cheese before serving with crusty bread.
