Instructions:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup of water, and a pinch of salt (optional). Gradually add half of the canned milk, stirring until the mixture achieves a consistency akin to bread dough.
-
In a small stockpot, combine the remaining water (adjust to preference for a thicker or more soupy texture), salt, pepper, chicken meat, and the rest of the milk from the can.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Using a spoon, drop dollops of the dough mixture one by one into the boiling soup. The dumplings will expand and float to the top as they cook.
-
Allow the dumplings to cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are done.
-
Serve hot in bowls, ladling both the chicken and dumplings with plenty of flavorful broth.
