This is Lilly’s favorite soup. It tastes especially good when it’s cold outside. Even though it sounds complicated, it doesn’t take that much time and effort to make it.

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-1/2- inch cubes
  • 3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth
  • 3 cups of water
  • 4 medium carrots, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • DUMPLINGS
  • 3 egg whites
  • ½ cup 1% cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

In a large nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, brown chicken. Add the broth,

water, veggies and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, for dumplings . beat the egg whites and cottage cheese in a mixing bowl. Add water and salt. Stir in the flour. Mix well.

Bring soup to a boil. Drop dumplings by tablespoonfuls onto the boiling soup. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in dumplings come out clean ( do not cover while simmering). Serve immediately. YIELD 4 servings.
