The secret is "Mary B's Dumplins". I get it in the long frozen cooler in the frozen rolls section at Winn Dixie. Dumplins as good as granny made from scratch but you aint gotta make em.
Drop the pieces of a 2.5 lb chicken in a pot with 3 quarts of water.
Add three stalks of celery chopped into small pieces, a good amount of carrots chopped into small pieces and a medium size onion chopped into pieces.
Add the desired amount of salt and pepper (and garlic if you like garlic).
Bring it to a boil and then back off the heat and let it simmer for about 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, take the chicken out and debone and deskin it and cut into smaller pieces (if you prefer) and put it back in the pot.
Add one can of cream of chicken soup, one can of cream of celery soup and stir it good to mix it with the broth.
Bring the heat back up to close to a boil. Drop the desired amount of dumplins in (and as far as I'm concerned the more the better cause they taste so good).
Let the whole thing cook slowly in a crockpot for an hour or two. The dumplins get larger and more tasty the longer they simmer.
