Cheap mans Chicken and Dumplings

Are you in the mood for good home cooked soup.
Thick and creamy, full of flavor.
With a lot of your food groups?
But you have less than 5$ to spend?

Try a hand at my recipie of Chicken and Dumplings.
Feeds 3 really hungry adults and a toddler



Ingredients
1 big can of chicken breast
1 can of sweet peas
1 can of cut carrots
1 can of cream of chicken
1 pack of creamy chicken Ramen noodles (not the noodles just the flavor packet)
1 cup of flour
1 tbsp butter
seasonings of your choice (I suggest thyme, basil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder)

START SOUP
1) Combine Chicken, peas, and carrots in a large sauce pan, DO NOT DRAIN.
2) Add your seasoning, butter, and Ramen flavor packet, stir
3) Bring to a simmer while you fix dumplings

FIX EM DUMPLINS
1) Put cup of flour to mixing bowl
2) Slowly stir in broth from soup until flour is sticky but moist dough like

FINISH SOUP
1) Add cream of chicken to soup and stir till fully disolved, bring it back to simmering
2) Cover your fingers in dry flour and pinch off balls of dough. (What ever size you like, thick ones take longer to cook)
3) DO NOT STIR at this point, rotate the pan occasionally, dumplings will rise to top when cooked.

EAT.
I ate the dumplings before I took the picture, yes they were that yummie
