Description
One Pot Chicken Dumpling Soup is a comforting and hearty dish that combines tender chicken and fluffy dumplings in a flavorful broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 carrots (sliced)
- 2 celery stalks (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for flavor)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the cooked chicken and frozen peas (if using). Let it simmer while you prepare the dumplings.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
- In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and chopped parsley.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter directly onto the simmering soup. Leave some space between each dumpling as they will expand while cooking.
- Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time, as the steam helps the dumplings rise.
- After 15 minutes, check that the dumplings are cooked through (they should be fluffy and firm).
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your comforting One Pot Chicken Dumpling Soup!
