Ingredients

Soup

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 carrot peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup parsley minced
  • 7 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken

Dumplings

Instructions

  • In a large stockpot or dutch oven, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery. Give it an occasional stir, but cook until slightly brown, 5-10 minutes. Add the garlic, stir, and cook another minute or two.
  • Add the parsley, broth, and chicken. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, combine dumpling ingredients in a separate bowl. When broth begins to boil, reduce heat to keep it at a simmer, then drop dumpling batter into the broth by the spoonful. Once all of the dumpling batter has been added, cover the pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
