EASY CREAMY CHICKEN DUMPLING SOUP



Easy Creamy Chicken Dumpling Soup image

This is my homemade Chicken Dumpling Soup. It has a slightly creamy base, not quite a cream soup, but not a broth either. The dumplings are not the fluffy kind, but chewy, more like an egg noodle. I use chicken breasts, just a preference, but you could use any type of chicken pieces. It freezes great, but is best to freeze without the dumplings, and make the dumplings when you serve it.

HEARTY CHICKEN AND DUMPLING STEW



HEARTY CHICKEN AND DUMPLING STEW image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup pearl barley
1/2 pound frozen lima beans (broad)
2 tablespoons oil
2 poundss boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
3 leeks, well-washed, trimmed and sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 medium carrots, chopped
2 medium zucchinis, chopped
8 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Salt and pepper
For the Dumplings:
1/4 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons cold butter, grated
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Rinse the barley under cold water until the water runs clear; drain. Pour boiling water over the beans, drain and remove skins. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the chicken in batches, cook until well browned all over - this is important to achieve color and flavor. Add the leeks, garlic, celery, carrots and zucchini, cook, stirring, until leeks are soft. Add the chicken stock and tomato paste, bring to a boil. Add the barley and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan with the beans. FOR THE DUMPLINGS: Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, stir in the cheese and butter and mix well. Add enough of the water to form a soft dough. Drop level tablespoons of dumpling mixture into the simmering soup, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the dumplings, are cooked through and the barley is tender. Stir in the herbs, season to taste with salt and pepper, serve immediately. The soup can be prepared a day ahead, however, the barley will thicken the soup overnight. The dumplings are best made just before serving as they will thicken soup also.

CHICKEN 'N' DUMPLING SOUP



Chicken 'n' Dumpling Soup image

Meet the Cook: This recipe's one I had to learn to marry into my husband's family! It is the traditional Hinz Christmas Eve meal, served before going to church. My father was a pastor who was always too keyed up from preaching to enjoy a big Sunday dinner. So I learned to make soup early on. Now, my husband is pastor to two rural churches. Our three children are 17, 15 and 13. -Rachel Hinz, St. James, Minnesota

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, free-range chicken and organic vegetables will make a big difference in the taste of your chicken and dumplings.
  • Make your own broth: Homemade broth is much more flavorful than store-bought broth. You can make chicken broth by simmering chicken bones, vegetables, and herbs in water for several hours.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't just stick to carrots and celery. Try adding other vegetables like potatoes, corn, peas, or green beans.
  • Season your dumplings well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to your dumplings. This will help them to taste delicious.
  • Cook the dumplings in batches: If you're making a lot of dumplings, cook them in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pot. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the dumplings: Dumplings are done cooking when they float to the top of the pot and are cooked through. If you overcook them, they will become tough and chewy.

Conclusion:

Chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make, and it's always a hit with family and friends. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give chicken and dumplings a try. You won't be disappointed.
