In a large stockpot combine the ingredients for the stock. Slowly bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover and simmer for 60 minutes, skimming the surface as foam rises. In a large bowl combine the dumpling ingredients, mixing just until moist. When the broth is done drop the batter onto the simmering stock, cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes. Do not take the lid off the pan while the dumplings are simmering, when the dumplings are done remove them to a bowl and the chicken to a cutting board. Strain the broth and discard the veggies, putting 3 cups of broth back into a soup pot bring it to a boil. (The remaining broth can be frozen for 4-6 months.) Combine the gravy ingredients until smooth and stir into the boiling broth, cook and stir until thick. Once you reach your desired thickness add back in the dumplings and the cut up chicken, simmer for about 5 minutes to just warm up the chicken and dumplings again. Serve hot and enjoy.
