A delicious meal on a cold evening. You can also use skinless boneless chicken thighs if you prefer dark meat. I sometimes add mushrooms too, making it an 8-veg stew!

Fantastic! As we don't get rutabagas, I subbed turnips and also doubled the baking powder for the dumplings as per previous reviewers' suggestions. The dumplings came out great! Used my own home-made chicken and veg stock. I would have to say the prep time is double the time stated, but this dish is SO worth the effort. I did get a bit carried away with the veg measurements and used more than stated, probably 1/2 as much again of every veg, and this could easily have fed 6 or even 8 people. I'm still eating the leftovers and not getting tired of it at all. A real keeper, thank you!

    This looks like an interesting recipe but I would make one tiny suggestion or change. One of the earlier posters mentioned that her husband found the dumplings to be doughy. It looks like there is about half the amount of baking powder that would be needed to make them rise correctly, so maybe that's why. Typically when I make dumplings I use 2 to 2 1/2 tbsp of baking powder (Clabber Girl--you might not need as much with other brands...) for every 2 cups of flour. They rise up like a charm and are light and fluffy (if I do say so myself...). Of course, I do live at sea level...if you live at elevation you would need less so maybe that's why the recipe is written the way it is.

    Hello Everyone, I tried this recipe today. I am eating the whole thing by myself [ joke]. This is a real "brings back the memories" dish. It has just the right amount of the different vegetables so that one does not overpower the other, and the seasoning is great but I added about 1 tsp. of tarragon to the spice list and it added just enough sweetness to the dish that I prefer. You won't be sorry if you make this dish. It is 'Gourmet' enough for Sunday Company..even on the very first try ! grammajune
