For richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. Don't overmix the dumpling batter; it will result in tough dumplings. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added color and freshness.

Cover the pot tightly with a lid to trap the steam, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for another 12 to 15 minutes – resist the temptation to peek! The dumplings are done when they are puffed up and cooked through. Ladle generously into bowls, and serve hot. (15 minutes)
