Stir in ¼ cup flour
Add 1 cup of Chicken Stock to the soup and mix to incorporate the flour
Add rest of stock

Turn to medium-high and cook until potatoes are tender (about 30-40 minutes)
While potatoes are cooking make dumplings
Mix all dumpling ingredients in a bowl and combine well
Divide into two pieces just to make easier to work with
Roll each piece out with your hand so it is approximately 1 inch in diameter and like a rope
If needed sprinkle with flour to make easier to work with
Cut into 1-inch dumpling pieces and set aside.
Add any needed salt to the soup.
Once potatoes are tender, add dumplings to soup
Cook for 5 minutes
