Tips for Success
πΈ Must use self-rising flour β if you only have all-purpose, make your own:
β 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1Β½ tsp baking powder + ΒΌ tsp salt = homemade self-rising flour
πΈ Donβt skip the rest time β it allows the sauce to thicken and dumplings to firm up.
πΈ For a crispier top , broil for 1β2 minutes at the end (watch closely!).
πΈ Want it lighter? Use low-fat milk and reduced-fat soup β just know the texture will be slightly less creamy.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a simple green salad or steamed veggies for balance.
Top with fresh chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color.
Serve with biscuits or cornbread on the side for extra comfort.
