Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 tube (16 oz) Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup Carrots, diced
- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 1 medium White or yellow onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Step 2
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the cream of chicken soup until smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and garlic powder. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Add the shredded chicken to the pot and stir well. Let the mixture continue to simmer on low heat while you prepare the dumplings.
Step 4
Open the tube of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into four equal pieces to create bite-sized dumplings.
Step 5
Gently drop the biscuit pieces into the simmering broth one at a time, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
Step 6
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper as desired.
Step 8
Serve hot in bowls and enjoy this comforting, hearty dish!
