Ingredients
    Soup
  • 1 Cup Chopped Carrots
  • 1 Cup Chopped Celery (Chopped)
  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 4 TBS Flour
  • 1 Can Evaporated Milk (12 oz)
  • 1 Quart Chicken Broth
  • 3-4 Cups Cooked Chicken (Shredded)
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
    • Dumplings
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 1.5 TBS Baking Powder
  • 3/4 Cup Milk
  • 4 TBS Melted Butter
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
Instructions
  1. Cook the Soup Base:
    • In a large pot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
    • Sprinkle in the 4 TBS of flour and stir well to coat the veggies. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
    • Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
    • Add the shredded chicken, dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer.
  2. Make the Dumpling Batter:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and dried thyme.
    • Stir in the milk and melted butter until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Add Dumplings to the Soup:
    • Reduce the soup to a low simmer. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the surface of the soup, leaving a little space between each one.
    • Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through. Avoid lifting the lid while they cook!
  4. Serve:
    • Transfer to serving bowls and serve warm.
