Quick Chicken Dumpling Soup -- pg 37

Of all the adjectives you might like to describe your dinner, which come to mind as best?  I'm thinking, "tasty, delicious, mouth-watering, even yummy", and, yes, quick would be good, too.  Then, why not call it Quick and Tasty Chicken Dumpling Soup?  Simple.  It was just quick.  If I used another adjective, it would be "edible" or "bland".  This soup has three ingredients:  1) The dreaded "make a soup with a soup" 2 cans of cream of chicken condensed soup.  2) 3 1/3 cup milk, divided, and 3)1 2/3 cup making mix.  So, you mix the cans of soup with 1 2 2/3 cup milk and boil it.  Then mix 2/3 cup milk with the baking mix and drop spoonfuls into your boiling soup.  Turn the heat down, cover and simmer for 10 -15 minutes.  That's it. That being said, I cheated.  I added some white chicken meat to it.  I just couldn't bear it.  If I had to make over this soup, I'd add de-boned rotisserie chicken and some carrots and celery at least.  But, if you're into bland, moist biscuits and gravy, leave it alone.  It is edible.  My husband liked it.  Go figure.  I think 2 spoons.  Hey, it was quick...
