Ingredients
For Dumplings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chives chopped
- ½ cup buttermilk use more if needed
Chicken soup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 large carrot chopped
- 1 talk celery chopped
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- 4 cups chicken broth
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 2 cups roasted chicken shredded (any part of the chicken will do, both white and dark meat would be great for flavor)
- ½ cup peas frozen
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot and celery to the pot and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the onion sweats and becomes translucent. Add thyme to the pot and the 4 cups of chicken broth.
- In a small bowl whisk the flour with a ladle of the broth from the pot then pour back into the pot and whisk making sure there are no lumps. Stir in the frozen peas and the shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes.
- While the broth is cooking, prepare the dumplings. In a bowl whisk together all the dumpling ingredients, making sure not to overmix, if you overmix the dumplings will turn out too dense.
- Drop dumpling batter using a spoon into the thick broth. Make sure you don't take too much batter at once because the dumplings will double in size while they cook, so make them as big or small as you wish.
- Cover the pot and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked. Make sure you don't peek while the dumplings are cooking, because they need to steam in order for them to cook and be nice and fluffy, lifting the lid will release the steam. After about 15 minutes use a toothpick to test if the dumplings are cooked through.

- When making the dumpling batter it is important that you stop mixing once all the ingredients are fully combined. Overmixing will result in dense dumplings.
- The broth and flour need to be whisked together and the mixture needs to be whisked into the broth in the pot. This is how you avoid lumps from forming as you turn the soup into more of a stew.
- It’s imperative that you leave the lid in place for at least 15 minutes while the dumplings are cooking. They need the steam to cook properly.
