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.

It's actually easy to make, and you can make it from scratch using ingredients you already have on hand.

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

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 boneless chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
2 c chicken stock (from boiling breasts above)
1 stick butter
2 c milk
1 can(s) cr. of chicken soup( herbed cr. of chicken adds more flavor)
3 tsp wylers chicken granules
1/2 tsp dried sage
1 tsp black pepper and salt as desired
2 c bisquick

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in sauce pan with enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat; place a lid on your pot and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes to finish cooking.
  • 3. Remove chicken from stock (reserve the stock) and allow to cool, then shred the chicken. When building the layered casserole, do not mix the layers.
  • 4. Layer 1 - In 9x13 or larger casserole dish, melt 1 stick of butter. Spread shredded chicken over butter. Sprinkle black pepper and dried sage over this layer. Note: If you want to serve this as a pot pie, add a layer of vegetables now.
  • 5. Layer 2 - In small bowl, mix milk and Bisquick. Slowly pour over chicken.
  • 6. Layer 3 - In medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of the chicken stock (strained, if needed), chicken granules and soup. Once blended, slowly pour over the Bisquick layer. (Tip - Add some of the hot stock to the soup can to help melt the soup and get it all out of the can). Bake time varies by oven and the size pan you decide to use, therefore, bake until the top is golden brown- approx. 50-60 minutes.

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.
