Ingredients
  

  • 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter divided
  • 1 small yellow onion diced fine
  • 1 stalk celery thinly sliced
  • 1-1/4 cup all-purpose flour divided
  • 1 qt. low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken
  • 6 oz. frozen Italian green beans
  • 6 oz. frozen peas & carrots
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley plus additional to garnish
  • 1/2 cup milk preferably whole
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 6 oz. frozen peas & carrots

Method
 

  1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons butter and heat until melted. Add onion and celery and cook until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of flour. Cook stirring constantly to cook out the raw flour taste, approximately one minute. Gradually add broth, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chicken and green beans and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add frozen peas and carrots and simmer for 5 minutes
  4. While the soup is simmering, whisk remaining flour, baking powder, salt to taste and fresh parsley in a medium bowl.
  5. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, using a fork to cut it into the flour mixture. Stir in milk.
  6. Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop batter over simmering chicken mixture.
  7. Cover and simmer until dumplings are cooked through, approximately 12-15 minutes depending on size.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with additional chopped parsley.
  9. Enjoy!

Notes

When storing any leftover soup, remove the dumplings from the soup and store the two in separate containers. A quick shortcut is to use a bag of frozen mixed vegetables in place of the sliced carrots and green beans.
Note: Be sure to cover the soup while simmering so that the dumplings steam. This keeps them light and fluffy.
