How to Make Slippery Dumpling Soup

Step-by-Step

In a soup pot add 2 quarts water, chicken base, potatoes, celery, onions, salt and pepper
Cook for 1/2 hour.
Remove veggies from stock and set aside.
Sift flour in a mixing bowl
Add salt, and cut in shortening
Add water small amounts at a time until dough is soft yet not too sticky
Roll out wafer thin.

I like to add a few drops of yellow food coloring to make the soup more appealing
