Favorite Memories/Stories:
A family with two twin boys from Ava's school, Green Door, submitted this recipe to the Green Door Cookbook. The original recipe was titled "Davis' and Ellis' Favorite Chicken Dumpling and Rice Soup". We have had this soup many times and it is great on cold winter nights. Ava loves it and finishes her bowl every time.
