Chicken + Dumpling Soup


INGREDIENTS

1 12oz can chicken stock
3 cups water
1 lb chicken
6oz andouille sausage (sliced)
1 small sweet potato (diced)
Chopped scallions
1/4 cup peas and carrots mix
3 tbsp chicken boullion soup mix
pepper to taste
 Dumplings

DIRECTIONS

Clean, cut and season chicken. 
In pot, add chicken and fry for 5 minutes stirring constantly to avoid sticking or burning. You can use a little oil if you wish but I prefer not to.
Add chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Combine all the ingredients and let cook for 30 minutes
Add dumplings to pot lastly and cook for 5-7 minutes.

For dumplings, a simple way to  make it  is to use Bisquick mix and follow the directions on the box.If you are gluten sensitive, there are several gluten free pancake mixes that will work well.  I like to add spices and a bit of sugar to mine to make it more flavorful.
