Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 6 cups chicken broth or stock
  • 1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk (2% or whole)

Equipment

  • Dutch Oven or Stockpot
  • Medium bowl
  • Pastry Cutter

Method
 

  1. In a Dutch oven or stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery, and carrots, and cook until fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.
  2. Add minced garlic, dried parsley, and poultry seasoning to the pot. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Sprinkle in 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Stir in chicken stock and add the bay leaf. Simmer the mixture for 25 minutes.
  5. Remove the bay leaf and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked chicken and frozen peas, then simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup of flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Add milk and stir just until combined.
  7. Drop small spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and cook for 15 minutes without removing the lid.

Notes
