A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I followed the 4 serving recipe exactly using my 6 quart crock pot and had a glob of mush so added more soup, chicken broth, milk, bouillon cubes for flavor, mixed veggies and turned it into a great chicken stew but it was a disappointment, if I would try it again and that is probably not going to happen I would cut the dumpling measurements in half and add at least 3 cans of soup to the 4 serving recipe and the chicken breasts were small so that was not the problem. I have never made a receip from this site that we were not happy with so will continue to try them.
So sorry to hear that this recipe didn't turn out as you expected it to. It's a fricassee, not really the kind of chicken and dumplings that I think a lot of people are used to, so I wouldn't add any additional liquid (it's meant to be very thick, not soupy). It sounds like the problem was that the dumplings didn't cook through in the time listed in the recipe. If you have a crock pot that is slow to heat up, it may have lost too much heat while the dumplings were being added and just didn't get back up to the temp it needed to in order to cook the dumplings in an hour. In this case, I'd recommend cooking them longer than called for (at least 30 minutes, depending on your crock pot).
