Equipment

  • large pot

Ingredients
  

For Soup

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 cups finely-chopped onion 1 large or 2 medium
  • 1 cup carrots diced (2 medium)
  • 1 cup celery diced (2 medium stalks)
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic 3 large cloves
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce and/or more salt to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas

For Dumplings

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

To Make Soup

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken, onions, carrots, and celery. Sprinkle with the salt and black pepper and cook until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle flour over the chicken and vegetables. Cook for 3-5 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. It’ll smell nutty and start to brown.
  • Pour in chicken broth, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the stew thickens. Taste and season with soy sauce or more salt as needed.

To Make Dumplings

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir in ¾ cup whole milk and melted butter to form dough.
  • Form small balls of dough and drop them into the simmering stew. Cover the pot and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, until dumplings are cooked through and rise to the top.
  • Add frozen peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Notes

Soy sauce adds umami flavor; adjust salt if using unsalted broth. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
