Spinach Dumplings in Chicken Noodle Soup

What is this?

With 6 boys, 2 full time working dads, and a not so smart English bulldog, who has the luxury of taking hours to prepare dinner?   If a shortcut can be taken in the kitchen, trust me, I will find it and I will take it.

My mom used to make chicken soup for me when I was growing up.  She would roast her chicken in the oven and then use the carcass to make her own stock.  Now I say, when you have the time, absolutely.  But when you don’t, why not pick up a pre roasted chicken from your local supermarket?  It will save you hours.  What about the stock?  If you don’t have the time, take advantage of some of the high quality “boxed” or “canned” stocks on the market.

You can always add your own personal touches to the soup.  I spice up my “boxed” chicken stock by adding onions, fresh carrots and celery, garlic, rosemary, thyme, basil and white wine.   This transforms an ordinary stock into something very special.   To even take it to another level, we also decided to take some of the Bacon Spinach Balls out of the freezer and add them to the soup as well. These proved to be a great addition.  I hope that you put your own mark on this soup and call it  your own.
