I don't do the flat dumplings. To me, that's just chicken noodle soup with thick noodles. For mine, I saute diced onions, celery, and carrots till aromatic. Add in minced garlic and saute another minute or so. Then I add water and chicken thighs with skin on and bone in. I bring it to a simmer for about an hour. Then I remove the chicken, let it cool, remove the skin, break up the meat, and add the meat back to the pot. Bring it back to a simmer, then I add the dumplings. My dumplings are just flour, baking powder, salt/pepper, and water. I just grab a large marble sized clump of dough, and drop them in one at a time. They float when done. That's it. Easy and amazing.
