Vegetables & Aromatics
- ¼ cup Butter
- 4 ounces Onion, finely diced
- 16 ounces Carrot, finely chopped
- 4 ounces Celery, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
Seasonings & Broth
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, finely chopped
- 5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Bisquick (for thickening)
Chicken
- 16 ounces Rotisserie chicken, shredded
Dumplings
- 2 cups Bisquick
- ⅔ cup Whole milk
- Heat butter and sauté vegetables: Place butter in a large pot or Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat until melted. Add the finely diced onion, chopped carrot, and chopped celery, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic and seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional 1 minute to release the aromas.
- Add Bisquick for thickening: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Bisquick over the vegetable mixture and stir well to combine it with the softened vegetables.
- Add chicken broth and whisk: Slowly pour in the 5 cups of chicken broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming, creating a smooth broth base.
- Add shredded chicken and bring to boil: Mix in the shredded rotisserie chicken and continue cooking until the broth comes to a boil.
- Prepare dumpling dough: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of Bisquick with ⅔ cup of whole milk. Stir until a dough forms that can be spooned onto the soup.
- Add dumplings to boiling broth: Once the broth is boiling, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough on top of the soup surface.
- Cook dumplings covered: Place a lid on the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the dumplings cook covered for 10 minutes to steam through.
- Finish cooking dumplings uncovered: Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, allowing the dumplings to firm up and cook fully.
- Serve hot: Once the dumplings are cooked through, ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls and serve immediately for a warm, hearty meal.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and extra flavor.
- Bisquick acts both as a thickener for the broth and the base for the dumplings.
- Make sure to whisk the broth thoroughly after adding Bisquick to avoid lumps.
- You can substitute fresh thyme with ½ teaspoon dried thyme if unavailable.
- For a lower-fat option, substitute butter with olive oil and whole milk with 2% milk.
