I've made this a few times. IMO, the dumplings are far superior to American style chicken and dumplings. They are light and fluffy compared to heavy and pasty. Good recipe. It's a keeper. I agree with another reviewer that said it tastes like you've spent hours cooking it with little effort.

Anka, us Slovenians also enjoy this soup! We have the tradition of eating this soup at night on Christmas Day; it is a nice change after all the rich food and desserts on Christmas Eve. My mother will put the cooked meat, cooked vegetables, chopped parsley, and other add-ins on a big tray; everyone puts what they want in their bowl and we pour the hot broth and dumplings over.
I have taught my children how to make the dumplings, so when the cupboard is bare, there are always eggs and flour to make dumplings! I am sure you use the trick of heating the teaspoon in the hot broth each time before scooping out the batter; Food52 friends, the batter will slide right off a hot spoon so not a drop of batter is wasted! If the spoon is cold, the batter sticks to it and will not slide off into the broth.
The dumplings are delicious, true comfort food.

Hi Windischgirl
One thing I love about food is; it brings good memory.
Yes, I use the trick of heating the spoon but it did become norm so it slip my mind that small extra step helps. Thank you for mentioning.
