Soup Ingredients

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, add chicken breasts and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken, shred it, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add diced carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Return shredded chicken to the pot. Add salt, pepper, thyme, bay leaf, and remaining chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Make Dumplings

    In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup of milk. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the simmering soup.

  5. 5

    Cook Dumplings

    Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes, or until they are fluffy and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf, taste for seasoning, and serve hot.
