Home Made Chicken Soup with Ferina Dumplings

One whole chicken carcass
handfull chopped carrots
handfull chopped celery
one onion sliced
2-3 garlic cloves minced
parsley
2 bay leaves
basil
thyme 
rosemary
salt and pepper
mix all into large stock pot.  cover with water and bring to boil, simmer 2 hours

strain broth into bowl and pick out chicken meat
discard the rest of the bones and vegetables.
pour broth back into stock pot and cut up new carrots, onion, celery and garlic.  bring back to boil

Ferina Dumplings
2 Tbsp melted butter
1 egg
1/8 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup ferina  (not the instant cooking type)
dash garlic powder
dash salt
mix together until consistancy is somewhat powdery but sticks together when you press it together
drop small balls (size of sugar cubes or a bit bigger) into boiling soup  boil 5 minutes
add chicken meat back into soup.
cover and lower heat, simmer 15-20 minutes
The Dumplings will double in size when done cooking.  I usually double the dumpling recipe because we love the extra dumplings.
