Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large soup pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add one diced yellow onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, along with 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, salt, black pepper, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Stir in 6 cups of chicken broth and cover to simmer for 20 minutes.
  3. Mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. In another bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half, then gradually add to the dry mix, stirring to form a sticky dough.
  4. Remove the chicken after 20 minutes, shred it, and return it to the pot with 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots. Stir in ½ cup of heavy cream and allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dumpling dough into the soup, cover, and cook for 10 minutes without lifting the lid.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Enjoy!
