Cajun Chicken and Dumplings image

A local restaurant has this on their menu one day a week. They serve it with sour dough bread and a salad with a vinagrette dressing. It is always a treat to have this and I was fortunate enough to get a copy of their recipe. I have cut it down to one third of the amounts they use. They add some cornstarch and water to thicken the soup. I would leave this as optional.
