I make my dumplings that way but that's about it.
I boil my own chicken to make my broth and add a few cubes of bullion and pepper to the boiling chicken.
While that is cooking I peel my potatoes and carrots and chunk them up and a medium sized onion diced. Most of it is diced large but a little of it is chopped fine.
When the chicken is ready to be de boned I remove it and let it cool and toss the carrots and potatoes in and half the large diced onion.
Once the chicken is boned I toss it in and the rest of the largely cubed onion.
As it comes to a boil again and the carrots and potatoes are soft add the dumplings by the spoonful to the broth. Once it is all in sprinkle the finely chopped onion to the top of the dumplings and cover the pot. When the dumplings are done it's ready.

11 months later I'll chime in!
I just did a triple batch for 20 using this recipe for my kids' group at the county fair.
They *LOVED* it and we had no leftovers even though I did 4 chickens!

Just to throw in my .02....
You can use biscuits from the can. Just 1/4 them and
throw them in for 10 mins or so. Alot less work...

Sounds delicious! Unfortunately DH likes Bohemian dumplings which have a consistency which makes them useful for baseballs or hockey pucks!

Wow, that's a bit batch! I miss this dish, but just way too hot right now to work much in the kitchen. Come on, Fall!

I've used biscuits too, and they're good. But somehow not as good as homemade dumplings like Mom used to make. And the recipe here seems more like homemade (from a Texan after all).

In a recipe I use, you melt the crisco in the boiling water then add it to the flour.

If you haven't used Better Than Bouillon for dishes like these you should try it. I think it gives a richer and more realistic flavor.
