Chicken and Dumplings Soup
Ingredients
For the Soup:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great!)
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Dumplings:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Sauté veggies: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
Build the soup base: Add chicken broth, shredded chicken, thyme, and parsley. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes.
Prepare the dumplings: In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined (the dough will be sticky).
Add dumplings: Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and let dumplings cook for 12-15 minutes, or until fluffy and cooked through.
Season and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm!
