Instructions
Make the Chicken Soup:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and water. Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the frozen peas and heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Make the Dumplings:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the simmering chicken soup. Cover the pot and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
Serve:
- Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Chicken Alternatives: You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Simply shred the cooked chicken and add it to the soup.
- Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables like diced potatoes, green beans, or corn to the soup.
- Dumpling Variations: For a different twist, you can add chopped fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, to the dumpling batter.
- Make-Ahead: The chicken soup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop and add the dumplings just before serving.
- Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
