Chicken
2 gal. water
1 lg. onion, diced
Salt & pepper
2 tbsp. chicken base
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 bag egg noodles

Boil chicken in large kettle with about 2 gallons of water, 1 large diced onion, and salt and pepper. When chicken is soft (about 1 1/2 hours), take the meat out of the water and remove all the bones. Dice up the meat and put back in water. Then add 2 tablespoons chicken soup base and 2 diced celery stalks. Bring to a boil about 1/2 hour. Just 20 minutes before serving add 1/2 bag of egg noodles and dumplings.

DUMPLINGS:

2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2 c. flour
3/4 c. water

Mix all together. This is kind of like a thick pancake mixture. Drop by teaspoon into soup and noodle mixture. Cover and bring to a slow boil 15 minutes.
