Cook them in 1 cup water until tender

or white bread torn into bits. (1/2 Pkg. of sage stuffing mix may be

used as an option to the biscuits.)

Stir in three beaten eggs, and  2 tsp each Sage, Salt, and Pepper into mixture.

Add at least two cans of Chicken Broth.  Make sure the mixture is SOUPY.
