Equipment

  • Large saucepan with a lid

Ingredients

  • 2 7.5 oz cans of uncooked biscuit dough refrigerated biscuit cans
  • 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

  • Open the canned biscuits, pull apart the dough, and shape them into 1-2 inch dumpling balls by quickly rolling the dough in your hands. (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.
  • 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!
