Ingredients
Ingredients for the dumplings
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
Ingredients for the chicken soup
- 2 cups chicken breast or thigh meat pre-cooked, seasoned, and pulled shredded, or chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup carrots chopped
- 3/4 cup yellow onion diced
- 1/2 cup celery chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the dumplings: flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Next, add the wet ingredients for the dumplings: milk and vegetable oil. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined to form the dumpling dough.
- Pinch off small portions of the dough and roll them into ½-inch to 1-inch dumpling-shaped balls. Keep in mind that the dumplings will increase in size as they cook. Set the dumplings aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil and sauté the carrots, onion, and celery for 2-3 minutes until the onion and celery soften.
- Add the garlic, chicken bouillon, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in the broth and the cooked chicken, then reduce the temperature to let the soup simmer on medium-low heat.
- Gently add the set aside dumplings into the simmering soup and stir, submerging them as much as you can in the broth.
- Cover the saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are no longer doughy in the center.
- Finally, remove the lid from the pot and stir in the heavy whipping cream. Then, serve and enjoy!
