Add the celery and onion; cook 2 minutes.

Stir in cream and continue to simmer for 5 minutes.

Prepare dumplings. Mix ingredients together to form a thick batter. Drop a tablespoon at a time into the simmering chicken stew. Cover tightly and cook chicken and dumplings an additional 20 minutes without removing cover.

Remove bay leaf and serve immediately.
