    Chicken and Dumpling Soup Recipe

    Ingredients:

    For the Soup:
    – 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
    – 1 medium onion, chopped
    – 2 carrots, diced
    – 2 celery stalks, diced
    – 3 cloves garlic, minced
    – 6 cups chicken broth
    – 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
    – 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    – 1 teaspoon dried parsley
    – Salt and pepper to taste

    For the Dumplings:
    – 2 cups all-purpose flour
    – 1 tablespoon baking powder
    – 1/2 teaspoon salt
    – 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
    – 1/4 cup butter, melted
    – 1 cup milk

    Instructions:

    1. Make the Soup:
    2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender (about 5-7 minutes).
    3. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
    4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
    5. Stir in the cooked chicken, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer while you prepare the dumplings.

    6. Prepare the Dumplings:

    7. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
    8. In another bowl, mix the melted butter and milk, then pour into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

    9. Cook the Dumplings:

    10. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the simmering soup. They will expand as they cook, so leave some space between each.
    11. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are fluffy and cooked through. Avoid lifting the lid during this time.

    12. Serve:

    13. Once the dumplings are done, ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy!

    Feel free to customize the soup with your favorite veggies or seasonings. Enjoy your cooking adventure and the comforting flavors of this dish!
