Let’s talk cozy soups.

We’re right in the middle of winter, and all I want to do is snuggle under layers of fuzzy blankets and hibernate through the rest of the dark gloomy season. But since that’s not possible, my next best option? Indulging in as much warm cozy soup as possible.

Soups are my favorite go to meals during the winter. They’re warm and comforting. And there are so many ways to customize the ingredients. You can make everything in a single pot and have enough for multiple meals.

This creamy chicken dumpling soup is seriously sooo good. It’s perfectly cozy and the kind of meal you want on a cold winter night. The soup is creamy and hearty and seasoned with fresh thyme. It’s filled with shredded chicken, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and onions in every bite. Light and airy dumplings are the perfect addition to this soup. Every spoonful is packed full of flavor. And it’s so satisfying.

I can’t wait for you to try this!

In a medium or large pot, add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the olive oil to heat for about a minute before adding diced onions, chopped celery, sliced mushrooms and chopped carrots. Cook these vegetables for several minutes until they become soft and tender.

Pour the chicken broth into the pot then add fresh thyme, and allow the soup to simmer for several minutes.

While the soup is simmering, in a medium mixing bowl, combine all purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk. Use a tablespoon to create little dumpling balls and drop them into the bubbling part of the soup. Cook the dumplings in the soup for a few minutes. The dumplings will puff up and appear fluffy. They will rise to the top.

Use a slotted spoon to scoop the dumplings from the soup and divide them into the bowls.

In a small bowl, mix together milk and flour until the flour has dissolved. Slowly pour the milk and flour mixture into the soup and stir to evenly incorporate into the soup. Season the soup with salt. Then add shredded chicken. Stir to incorporate into the soup

Once the chicken has warmed and soup is thick and creamy, divide the soup into each of the bowls.

Serve the creamy chicken dumpling soup warm. Garnish with finely chopped parsley if desired.

Enjoy!
