Juju,
Here, in the recipe above, I put the whole Doctored Spaetzle Recipe. The rest of the ingredient are for the soup.
If you poach your own chickens you can use the poaching water to cook your dumplings in.
The link in the description is to show people there is a completely separate recipe for plain Spaetzle and other things you can do with it.
Hope this helps.

I’m confused with this recipe. You state you are going to start with a spaetzle recipe but doctor it and go from there. You give a list of ingredients for spaetzle but no where else in the directions do you reference it in any way that I can see. The directions appear to make the dumplings and the chicken & filling, and that’s how I’m used to making Chicken & Dumplings, so how does the spaetzle fit into this recpie and where? Thanks so much for any help in your reply!

Hi Anne,
Thanks for your comment and so glad you like the dish. Just think what else you can do with those dumplings.
