Chicken Dumpling Soup

Ingredients:
1 can chicken broth
1 egg
3 Tbsp. flour, divided
Chicken (either a cut up cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken pieces)
Carrots and celery, cooked and finely diced, optional

Directions:
Empty the chicken soup into a pot on the stove and bring to a rolling boilMeanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the egg until scrambled.  Then add enough flour to the egg to make "thick-ish" (can be a thicker paste if you prefer heavier dumplings).  Slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the broth while you keep whisking.  Cook for a few minutes until the dumplings are solidified.  Turn off the heat.  Add the chicken, carrots and celery.

Note~ This is a recipe I have every year at a Czechoslovakian festival.  My brother is absolutely in love with this soup.  It is typically served with a bun called a "rohliky".  I got this recipe verbally from one of the ladies that has helped with the food for this festival for a number of years.  I hope you all enjoy!
