Directions:
Stew chicken with cream of chicken soup, butter, and a combination of water and milk. Once cooked, debone chicken if necessary and then cut into large pieces. Return broth to stove and simmer until ready to drop dumplings.

Dumplings:
Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add shortening. Add broth from chicken pot enough to make a stiff dough. Roll out dough on a floured counter top. Dust top of dumplings with additional flour. (This will help broth to thicken some.) Cut dough into long strips. Tear strips with hands and drop dumplings into stock. Stir gently as you go. Cover and boil gently for about 15 minutes. Add the cut chicken.
