  • Comforting Flavor: The creamy broth combined with tender dumplings creates a hug in a bowl.
  • Easy to Make: Perfect for weeknight dinners, this recipe comes together in under an hour.
  • Customizable: Add your favorite veggies or proteins for a personal touch.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

How to Make Creamy Dumpling Soup

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir in the dried thyme and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined to form a dough.
  4. Using a spoon, drop dollops of the dumpling mixture into the boiling broth. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and fluffy.
  5. Once the dumplings are fully cooked, stir in the fresh parsley and heavy cream. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth.
  • Don’t skip the resting time for the dumplings; it helps them rise while cooking.
  • Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more or less heavy cream according to your preference.

Easy Variations

  • Add cooked shredded chicken or turkey for extra protein.
  • Toss in some frozen peas or corn for added sweetness and texture.
  • Substitute half-and-half for a lighter version of the soup.

What to Serve With It

  • Crusty bread or rolls for dipping
  • A fresh green salad
  • Grilled cheese sandwiches for a classic pairing

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream if the soup thickens too much.
