4 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, (diced)
3 large carrots, (diced)
2 celery stalks, (diced)
3 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (chopped in bite-sized pieces)
¾ teaspoon salt, (divided)
½ teaspoon pepper, (divided)
¼ cup all purpose flour, (or gluten free all purpose flour, such as Cup 4 Cup)
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
12 ounce can evaporated milk
1 cup frozen peas, (thawed)
1 ⅔ cup all purpose flour, (or gluten free all purpose flour, such as Cup 4 Cup)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons butter, (melted and cooled)
¾ cup milk

Steps:

  • Melt the butter over medium high heat in a large stock pot or dutch oven. Once the butter has melted, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook and stir for 4-5 minutes, or until the veggies are crisp tender. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute longer.
  • Add the chopped chicken, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper to the vegetables. Cook and stir for 5-7 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and cooked through.
  • Sprinkle the flour over everything. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Lower the heat to medium low. Slowly add the broth to the pot, about 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Once all the broth has been added, stir in the remaining ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, and thyme.
  • Pour in the evaporated milk and peas. Stir to combine. Cook until the soup is thickened, about 5 minutes. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, while the ingredients are mixed together for the the dumplings.
  • For the dumplings, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper. Add the cooled butter, milk, and stir until a soft dough forms.
  • Use a small spoon to scoop up a dumpling ball less than 1 tablespoon (NOTE: Dumplings will double in size once they are cooked). Use another spoon to scrape the dough into the simmering liquid. Repeat until all the dough has been used. Gently stir occasionally to rotate the dumplings and cook for 10-12 minutes, uncovered, or until the dumplings are cooked through.

EASY CREAMY CHICKEN DUMPLING SOUP



Easy Creamy Chicken Dumpling Soup image

This is my homemade Chicken Dumpling Soup. It has a slightly creamy base, not quite a cream soup, but not a broth either. The dumplings are not the fluffy kind, but chewy, more like an egg noodle. I use chicken breasts, just a preference, but you could use any type of chicken pieces. It freezes great, but is best to freeze without the dumplings, and make the dumplings when you serve it.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: This will make the cooking process go much faster and smoother.
  • Use a large pot: Dumplings tend to expand while cooking, so it's best to use a pot that's large enough to accommodate them.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many dumplings to the pot at once, they'll stick together and won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the dumplings in batches: If you're making a large batch of soup, cook the dumplings in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
  • Don't overcook the dumplings: Dumplings should be cooked until they're just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
  • Serve the soup immediately: Creamy chicken and dumpling soup is best served immediately, while the dumplings are still light and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Creamy chicken and dumpling soup is a classic comfort food that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
