This isn’t your traditional Southern Chicken and Dumplings, but it’s yummy and easy, perfect for a cold day. The whole family loves this recipe, which my mother-in-law shared with me! The tortillas make the “dumplings,” and you can hardly tell they’re tortillas after they cook. I have added carrots and cream of celery soup, but they’re not necessary for a delicious, hearty bowl of soup!
