Re: Nothing like homemade soup when the cold front comes

You folks speaking of dumplings got me to wanting to make chicken and dumplings. I do mine from scratch and instead of using any lard in my flour to make the dumplings, I use the chicken fat that collects on the top of my stock and hardens when it is refrigerated overnight. That adds a nice bit of flavor to the dumplings instead of plain lard.
