Ingredients

Directions

Rinse the hen under cool water and pat dry. Season the hen with salt and pepper. Place the hen in a large stock pot. Add the onions, carrots, celery, jalapenos, garlic, bay leaves and thyme to the pot. Add enough water (1 gallon) to cover the hen. Season with salt and lots of black pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer the liquid for about 2 hours or until the meat falls of the bones. Skim off the scum from the stock every 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for about 20 minutes. Strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer, reserving the stock, the hen, and 1 cup of the cooked vegetables. Place the stock in a smaller stock pot and bring the liquid to a simmer. Remove the meat from the hen, discarding the skin and bones. Tear the meat into smaller pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt together. Using a fork, mash the reserved cooked vegetables. Stir the mashed vegetables and milk into the flour mixture. Stir to incorporate completely. Lightly dust the surface with flour. Turn the dough mixture out onto the floured surface. Dust the top of the dough with flour. Lightly press out the dough very thin, about 1/8-inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into strips, 2 inches long and 1-inch wide. Add the cream to the simmered liquid. Add the dumplings to the simmering liquid. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes. Stir in the green onions and parsley. Serve warm.

    Yes, the recipe does NOT say what to do with the shortening. I incorporate it into the mashed vegetables then add this to the flour mixture with the milk.

    The soup thickens nicely, due to the flour from the dumplings. The rich-thick broth goes well with the dumplings and somehow the chicken does not come out overdone.

    A very satisfying and hearty meal!

    Although the flavor of this dish was good, I found it way to time consuming for the outcome...after putting the dumplings in the pot, and simmering the required length of time, they seemed to kinda disintegrate or fall apart. I double checked the recipe and with the exception of cutting in the shortning (no direction for this ingredient I did everything according to the recipe. Disappointed Emeril...sorry!

    Has become my signature recipe. Any time anyone is sick or has a baby they can expect a pot of this soup. Always excellent. It's no more time consuming to make it 2 at a time so my family gets a pot too. Always enjoy. Extras get put in freezer containers and heat easily on the stove with the frozen soup and an equal amount of water to a simmer. Enjoy.
