In a 5-quart stockpot over medium heat stir together broth, water, chicken, pepper and dry seasonings until fully combined. Bring stew to a low boil. While the stew is coming to a boil make the dumplings. Once the dumplings are made drop the dumplings one at a time into the lightly boiling stew. Bring the stew back up to a low boil
Cover the pot. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes until the dumplings are firm. Uncover the pot. Add the vegetables and bring the stew back up to a low boil. Simmer uncovered 7 to 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the dumplings are floating. Remove from the heat and spoon desired amount into a serving bowl. Serve immediately.
