Saute onions, celery, and crushed garlic

Add rest of ingredients

If you would like dumplings in this soup, go to main dishes (Chicken stew with dumplings) for the recipe.

When I add dumplings to soup, I make into  1 inch balls.

You can substitute the beef and beef broth with chicken and chicken broth.

There is nothing like hot hearty soup on a cold day.
