Ingredients
Creamy Chicken Soup
- 6 chicken thighs boneless and skinless
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup yellow onions small dice, about 1 small onion
- ½ cup carrots small dice, about 1 medium carrot
- ½ cup celery small dice, 2 celery ribs
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves OR ½ tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp finely chopped sage leaves about 3-4 leaves, OR 1 tsp dried sage
- 6 cups chicken broth low sodium
- ½ cup heavy cream
Sage Dumplings
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp finely chopped sage leaves OR ½ tsp dried sage
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Turn your slow cooker to high power mode. Season the chicken thighs liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in the slow cooker. Then put the onions, celery, carrots, butter, fresh herbs in. Pour the chicken broth over all of the ingredients and close the lid. Let cook for 3 hours.
- At the 3 hour mark, pull the chicken thighs from the slow cooker and shred them with a fork. Place the shredded chicken back in and add in the heavy cream, place the lid back on while you make the dumplings.
- Next, make the dumplings. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and sage. Add in the sour cream and stir just until the ingredients have come together without dry bits, don't work it too much
- Drop in the dumplings by the spoonful. You can move them around and mess with them while in the pot, this results in a thicker stew and smaller sized dumplings, because they do fluff up to double the size if you don't.
- Cook the soup for another 30 minutes, until the soup is thick and creamy and the dumplings are fluffy and fully cooked through. You can check by taking one and opening it with a fork or spoon. If it's light and fluffy on the inside, the dumplings are ready!
- Serve hot with extra ground black pepper!
