3 lbs chicken
1/2 c chopped celery leaves
1 bay leaf
10 peppercorns

Cut chicken into portions, place in a saucepan with celery leaves, bay

cover and simmer over low heat for about one hour, or until chicken is
tender. Strain, then return broth to saucepan. Cut chicken into small
pieces, add to broth with celery and parsley, then simmer.

To make the butter balls, cream butter, add eggs and beat. Gradually add

NOTES : The butter balls, very tiny dumplings, are called rivels in the
West and dropsley in Ontario. This combination makes a perfect light
supper. I sometimes replace the chicken soup in this recipe with a can of
consomme and an equal amount of water.
