• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt for dumplings
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot and bring to a simmer.

Step 5

Place the chicken breasts into the soup and cover. Simmer for 15-18 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 6

Remove the cooked chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, prepare the dumpling mixture by combining the flour, baking powder, and salt for dumplings.

Step 8

In another small bowl, whisk together the almond milk and egg.

Step 9

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until a dough forms.

Step 10

Drop small spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for 10-12 minutes. They should be puffed and cooked through.

Step 11

Add the chopped parsley to the soup, adjust seasoning if necessary, and stir to combine.

Step 12

Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
