I'm allergic to dairy, so I used a vegan buttermilk substitute. The dumplings still turned out great!

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfect! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dumplings turned out really dense. I'll have to try this recipe again.

The dumplings were a bit dry. I think I'll add more buttermilk next time.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.
