• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 pound Chicken thighs
• 2 medium, diced Carrots

• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 8 cups Chicken broth
• 2 Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried Thyme
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh Parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and work it into the flour mixture with your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Slowly add the milk while mixing until a dough forms. Do not overmix. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large soup pot over medium heat, add the chicken thighs and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes total.

Step 4

Remove the chicken and set it aside. In the same pot, add the carrots, celery, and onion. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Return the chicken to the pot along with the chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Discard any bones. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 9

Bring the soup back to a simmer and add spoonfuls of the dumpling dough directly into the soup. Cover with a lid and cook for 15-20 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaves, stir in the fresh parsley, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 11

Ladle the soup with dumplings into bowls and serve hot.
