by

Cozy Chicken & Dumplings Soup is the ultimate comfort food, perfect for chilly days when you need something hearty and filling. The combination of tender chicken, vegetables, and soft, pillowy dumplings in a creamy broth is sure to warm you up from the inside out.

  1. Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cubed
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk (for the dumplings)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the carrots, celery, and chicken cubes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken starts to brown.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Stir in the milk (or cream), dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer while you prepare the dumplings.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Add the milk and stir until a dough forms.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
