However, she has added Pacific Northwest fare FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE noodles lightly in flour before putting in broth- shake off as much excess flour as possible. Some people cook in salted water before adding to broth - but we prefer the thickening from the little amount of flour still on noodles. Cook 25-30 minutes. More water may be required.

Add one can condensed milk and serve. You may add egg dumplings to chowder and cook before adding the condensed Dumplings 1 egg 2 Tbsp. water ¼ tsp. salt flour to make quite a stiff batter Drop by very small portions from teaspoon. If you dip spoon into the boiling chowder after each dumpling they will not stick to spoon. If your batter is not thick enough - it will just make your chowder thicken, so add a little more flour and try again. You don't want them too stiff, either. After dumplings have cooked a few minutes, add one cup regular milk and one can condensed milk. Don't be angry Do not be angry with me if I tell you the truth.
