Savory chicken dumplings in herb-infused broth with carrots and tender chicken pieces. A comforting and delicious bowl of soup.
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
  • 2 eggs
  • 4.75 cups chicken broth, divided
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 0.25 cup butter
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 1.5 cups thinly sliced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 quarts chicken broth
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1.5 cups chopped carrots
Instructions:
  • Blend 3 cups of cooked chicken, eggs, 3/4 cup of chicken broth, 1 cup of flour, parsley, 2 teaspoons of salt, pepper, and tarragon in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  • 1. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of flavorful chicken broth to a vigorous boil. Spoon the dumpling mixture into the boiling broth using rounded scoops. Let it simmer without a lid for 5 to 8 minutes until beautifully formed and lightly golden. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, let them drain on paper towels, and set aside the reserved cooking liquid for later use.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion, celery, and garlic until onion is translucent. Stir in flour until fully mixed. Add chicken broth gradually while stirring. Bring to a boil, then add salt and carrots. Cover, simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the dumplings to the pot along with the reserved liquid and 3 cups of cooked chicken. Let it simmer for an additional 15 minutes before serving.
