Sometimes I just need to make a whole chicken.. And then we butcher it, and eat it, and stare at the carcass for a while. Throw that carcass in a pot, cover it with water, boil it down, drain out the liquids, scoop the fat off the top, pick through the bones for good meat, and make something crazy. Dumplings are a Depression era food so that sounded good.. and with no milk in hand, we made the dumplings and the soup stock with sour cream. It lent a nice bite to it that I was just so impressed by. —cookingwithleftovers

Had the chicken carcass calling me and most of the ingredients for this. The directions are a little cryptic but it cam to get her nicely with great flavor. I added a little flour to the sauté to thicken things up a bit and threw in some mushrooms, shredded carrot and peas that needed using. A bit of Tabasco and balsamic added a little interest. The sour cream goes into the broth just before the dumplings...which I though were a bit too gooey...but it could have been my older baking powder. Good recipe inspiration/starting point.
