Equipment

  • 1 large pot or Dutch oven
  • 1 wooden spoon or spatula
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts Can substitute with thighs for richer flavor.
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the pot, and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the pot along with the frozen peas.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt for the dumplings. Add the milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter over the simmering soup. Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings steam for about 15 minutes, until they are fluffy and cooked through.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley for added flavor.

Notes

You can substitute the chicken breasts with thighs for a richer flavor.
Feel free to add other vegetables like corn or green beans for added nutrition.
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and the dumplings may become denser upon reheating. Add a splash of broth to adjust the consistency if needed.
