CHICKEN AND DUMPLING SOUP WITH QUINOA



Chicken and Dumpling Soup with Quinoa image

This soup is packed with fiber, thanks to the quinoa and the whole-wheat dumplings. For a pop of color, use black or red quinoa-which also hold their shape better than the white variety (cooking times may vary).

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings (about 3 quarts)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch half-moons
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 small bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, strained and rinsed
1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed well
1 cup frozen, chopped green beans
1/2 cup white whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, finely chopped
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, vinegar and thyme and stir until most of the vinegar has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring, until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the broth, 4 cups of water, chicken breasts and cannellini beans, bring to a high simmer and cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the cooked chicken and set aside until cool enough to handle. Add the quinoa to the pot and cook until translucent and tender and the threadlike germ wraps around each kernel, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, remove and discard the chicken skin and bones. Shred the meat into bite-size pieces and add back to the soup. Add the frozen beans.
  • Make the dumplings . Stir together the flour, parsley, eggs, milk, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Put half the batter into a perforated colander; holding the colander just over the simmering soup, scrape and work the batter through the holes with a rubber spatula, letting the tiny dumplings drop into the soup. Cook until the dumplings float, stirring to break up any large clumps, about 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter. Adjust the consistency of the soup with more water if desired and season with salt if needed.

CHICKEN DUMPLING AND CHRYSANTHEMUM LEAF SOUP



Chicken Dumpling and Chrysanthemum Leaf Soup image

Categories     Sauce     Chicken     Poach     Raw     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4 to 6 with 2 or 3 other dishes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 pound edible chrysanthemum leaves (about 1/2 bunch)
1 tablespoon canola or other neutral oil
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
6 1/2 cups water
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound (scant 1 cup) Multipurpose Meat Paste (page 158)
Fish sauce
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Using your fingers, strip off the leaves and snap off the tender tops of each chrysanthemum stem. Discard the stems along with any discolored leaves and small buds. There should be about 3 cups packed leaves. Rinse the leaves well to remove any grit and drain in a colander. Cut the leaves into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
  • In a 3- or 4-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes, or until fragrant and soft. Add the water and salt, raise the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer. Use 2 teaspoons or demitasse spoons to shape the dumplings. Scoop up a smallish mound of the paste with 1 spoon. (The dumplings nearly double in size, so you don't want to start with a huge spoonful of paste.) Pass the mound back and forth from 1 spoon to the other, forming it into a relatively smooth round or football shape. When you're satisfied, use the second spoon to push the dumpling gently off the spoon into the simmering broth.
  • After the dumplings float to the surface of the broth, let them simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through. Taste and season with up to 1 tablespoon fish sauce; how much you use depends on the saltiness of the meat paste. If you are not serving the soup right away, turn off the heat and cover.
  • Just before serving, return the soup to a simmer and add the chrysanthemum leaves. When they wilt and turn deep green, after about 1 minute, turn off the heat. Taste and add extra salt or fish sauce, if necessary. Ladle into a serving bowl and sprinkle with lots of black pepper. Serve immediately.

1 tub of knorr homestyle stock (concentrated stock)
1 Tbsp poultry seasoning
2 carrots peeled and cut up
2 large boxs of chicken broth
1/2 stick butter
3 pototoes peeled and diced
1 pkg mary b's dumplings (found in frozen food area)
1 c cream or 2% lactose free milk (for those needing easy to digest milk)

After all dumplings have been added cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 45 minutes stirring occasionally. Add chicken, carrots, and potatoes to pot and remove from heat. Salt to taste and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful broth. A good chicken broth is the foundation of a great chicken and dumpling soup. If you have time, make your own broth using a whole chicken, vegetables, and herbs. If you're short on time, you can use a good quality store-bought broth.
  • Don't overcook the dumplings. Dumplings are best when they are cooked through but still light and fluffy. Overcooking them will make them tough and dense.
  • Add vegetables to your soup. Vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and color to chicken and dumpling soup. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and peas.
  • Season your soup to taste. Chicken and dumpling soup should be flavorful, but not too salty. Start with a small amount of salt and pepper and add more to taste.
  • Serve your soup hot. Chicken and dumpling soup is best served hot, with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
