Ingredients

Soup
5 cups chicken broth (or stock)
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
2 tablespoons parsley flakes
1 tablespoon dried celery flakes
1 tablespoon hot sauce (we use habanero sauce)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup cooked chicken, chopped (optional)
dumplings
2 cups Bisquick
2 -3 tablespoons chopped jalapenos
1/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese (or cheddar) (optional)
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 - 2/3 cup 2% low-fat milk

Preparation

To a medium saucepan over med-high heat, add water, chicken bullion, seasonings, and chicken if using. Bring to a gentle boil.
Meanwhile, Mix all dumpling ingredients to form a thick dough.
When pot is ready, drop dumplings by heaping teaspoons into simmering liquid. Do in batches, about 6 at a time. Cook, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until dough is cooked through. the soup will thicken up to a creamy sauce as the dumplings are simmering. Serve up in a bowl and enjoy immediately.
NOTE: as the liquid thickens from the batches of dumplings, simply add more water or chicken stock as needed.
