Southern Chicken and Dumpling Soup
  This is a lighter variation on a Southern classic, chicken and dumplings, which are a type of homemade noodle. 
  The trick is to use a light, fresh noodle that doesn't have to be pre-boiled.
  
    Ingredients
    
      - 
        
4 cups homemade or low-sodium chicken broth 
       
      - 
        
½ cup chopped onion
       
      - 
        
1 tsp. minced garlic
       
      - 
        
1 can condensed low-sodium cream of mushroom soup 
       
      - 
        
2 cups cooked, cubed chicken 
       
      - 
        
1 10-ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, green beans, peas, and corn), or 
       
      - 
        
3 cups fresh vegetables
       
      - 
        
6 sheets of refrigerated egg roll wrappers 
       
      - 
        
1 tbsp. parsley
       
    
   
  
    Directions
    Put chicken broth into a large soup pot and add onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add condensed mushroom soup and chicken. Heat thoroughly and add vegetables. 
    Slice each egg roll wrapper into three "wide noodles." Add noodles three at a time to simmering soup. Stir gently so they don't stick, and continue adding until all are in the pot. 
    Continue simmering for about 2 minutes. Ladle into 4 bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
