"This is a great comfort food recipe. I have made it twice for different groups of people and it got rave reviews both times. It has great flavor. My only recommendation is to make your broth and do your vegetable and herb chopping the day before since they take a lot of time. If you've got it all ready to go, the recipe comes together very easily once you start to cook it. Also, the second time I made it I cheated and used Bisquick for my dumplings. Much easier and just as tasty. When reheating add a little water or broth to thin it out.
