Chicken’ and Dumplings

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 stick (4 Tbsp.) margarine
3/4 cup soy milk

For the Soup:

1/2 stick (4 Tbsp.) margarine
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp. celery salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
8 cups vegetable broth
2 medium carrots, diced
1 lb. faux chicken, torn into small pieces (try Morningstar Farms Meal Starters Chick'n Strips)
1 bay leaf

Directions:

Combine the dry ingredients for the dumplings in a bowl.
Mix the margarine with the dry mixture until crumbly. Add the soy milk, stirring until moistened. Add more soy milk, as needed, if the mixture is too dry.

Knead the dough for 30 seconds on a well-floured surface, then roll to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 1/2-inch squares. Place the margarine, onion, and celery for the soup in a large saucepan and sauté until the vegetables are soft.

Add the flour, salt, and pepper to make a thick paste. Slowly mix in the broth and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, faux chicken, and bay leaf.
Add the dumpling squares one at a time, stirring gently. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often. Serve hot.
