In a small dish, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons flour with 1/4 cup water. Whisk the flour mixture into the chicken stock mixture. Add the chicken and mixed vegetables and return to a boil. Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop scoops of the dumpling batter into the boiling liquid. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cover and cook an additional 10 minutes. Garnish each serving with fresh parsley.
