Provided by Deb Clark

Categories     Soups and Stews

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups cooked chicken (diced boneless skinless chicken breasts)
2 stalks celery diced
2 large carrots (cleaned and diced)
1 onion diced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 sprigs thyme (remove leaves and dice)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
just a pinch of red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups of chicken broth
1 package refrigerated bake and serve biscuit dough
1/2 teaspoon tumeric

Steps:

  • If you're using rotisserie chicken, pull meat from the bones, remove skin and dice or shred. You'll want about 1 1/2 cups chicken meat.
  • Using a large pot, heat the olive oil & butter over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions, carrots, celery, red pepper flakes & thyme. Sauté' until the vegetables are soft stirring often - about 5-6 minutes.
  • Increase temperature to medium-high heat and sprinkle the flour over the mixture. Continue to cook for another minute.
  • Slowly pour in the chicken stock. As the mixture comes to a boil it will thicken. Add in the shredded chicken. Lower the heat to medium low.
  • Test for seasonings. If needed add salt at this time to taste.
  • Open the can of biscuits - remove three biscuits and slice into strips or a small dice. Keeping in mind they will triple in size when they are cooked. Sprinkle them over the top of the soup in one even layer (very important!), do not stack them on top of each other. Cover & simmer for 15-20 minutes until the biscuits are cooked thru.
  • The rest of the biscuits....you guessed it! Cook according to package directions and serve them with your meal.

Time 1h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
2 eggs
4 ¾ cups chicken broth, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
¼ cup butter
2 cups chopped onion
1 ½ cups thinly sliced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 quarts chicken broth
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ cups chopped carrots
3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 4 cups chicken broth to a boil. Drop dumpling mixture by rounded spoonfuls into boiling broth. Simmer, uncovered, 5 to 8 minutes, until well formed and slightly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve dumpling cooking liquid.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup more flavor and nutrients. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. About 10 minutes of boiling is usually enough.
  • Use a good quality chicken stock. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any chicken stock on hand, you can use water instead, but the soup won't be as flavorful.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a bit of lemon juice or vinegar for a little extra brightness.
  • Make the dumplings ahead of time. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve the soup, simply drop the dumplings in the boiling soup and cook until they're fluffy.

Conclusion:

Chicken soup with dumplings is not only a delicious and comforting meal, but also a healthy and economical meal, too. It's very easy to make, and even quicker if you make the dumplings ahead of time. Try making a big batch of this soup for a weeknight dinner, or even for a special occasion. You and your family will love it!
