Ingredients

Dumplings

  • 2 cups baking mix (like Bisquick)
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Soup

  • 1 rotisserie chicken
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup half and half or milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp thyme or oregano or italian seasoning
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley or basil

Instructions

Dumplings

  1. In a medium bowl whisk together 2/3 cup milk, baking mix, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder.  Stir until just combined; set aside.

Soup

  1. In a large pot combine stock, half and half, salt, pepper, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.  Mix the flour with 1/4 cup of water and whisk into a slurry.  Stir into chicken broth mixture. Remove bay leaf.

  2. Add in chicken and frozen vegetables.  Bring back to a boil.

  3. Using two tablespoons (one to scoop and one to scrape), drop heaping tablespoons of dough into the boiling broth.  Continue dropping until all the dough is used.

  4. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.  Cover and cook for another 10 minutes.  Remove from heat and garnish each serving with fresh chopped basil or parsley.
