Chicken & Dumplings

Ingredients:

* 2 cans chicken broth
* 1 cup water
* 1/4 cup butter
* 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
* 1/4 cup finely chopped carrot
* 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
* salt and pepper to taste
* pinch of sage
* 1 teaspoon dried parsley
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
* 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)
* 1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken (or turkey) breast
* 1 package of Keto French Bread Machine Mix
(or Carbolite or Ketogenics Bread Mix)
* 1 egg, beaten
* 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
* additional water

Add first 12 ingredients to large soup pot and allow to boil until onions, carrots and celery are semi-soft. Add diced chicken or turkey and boil an additional 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small bowl mix beaten egg with heavy cream and 1/4 cup of the additional water. In a large bowl, empty bread machine mix and add egg/cream mixture and stir. Continue adding water a little at a time until you have a stiff but moist dough.

Drop by 2-Tablespoon size "dumplings" into bubbling broth, keeping dough balls separate in the broth until each rises and "forms". Once all dough is into broth, cook an additional 5 minutes and serve in big bowls.
